Description
Recreation at Taylor River State Wildlife Area is managed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife under agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation. The Division of Wildlife can be reached at 970-641-7070; e mail [email protected]. The area provides about 1/2 miles of fishing access along the Taylor River below Taylor Park Dam, which is a feature of the Uncompahgre Project. The fishery is catch-and-release and there are no developed recreation facilities beyond a parking lot and river access points. However, there are U.S. Forest Service campgrounds at Taylor Park Reservoir and along the river corridor.
