Specie Creek is primarily a Boat launch and day-use area with parking spaces. This site marks the beginning of the Specie Creek to Beaver Creek run and the end of the Down Valley Park to Specie Creek run. This section has a number of blind corners adding a little zip to the whitewater. For more information, please contact the Uncompahgre Field Office.
Getting there
Specie Creek Recreation site can be accessed from Colorado Hwy 145 (Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenic and Historic Byway) and turning south onto M44 Rd.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 3.3 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
