Centennial Park Cañon City Take-Out

Centennial Park in Cañon City serves as the standard take-out for this reach on river right, offering easy access via U.S. Highway 50 by crossing the 4th Street Bridge and following short, well-signed turns into the park. The site features a solid boat ramp, ample parking, and restrooms, making for a convenient and well-developed take-out. Located within the park is the Cañon City Whitewater Park, completed in 2010, which includes multiple in-channel features, sandstone step terraces, and enhanced river access points following extensive riverbank stabilization and habitat restoration. Beyond its boating function, Centennial Park is a popular community space with shade, picnic tables, grassy areas, a children’s play area, and a wading pool, with food and refreshments available within walking distance. As a shared public space, boaters are encouraged to keep the area clean and represent the paddling community respectfully.
