Ruedi Boat Ramp closed to motorized watercraft launching for the remainder of the 2026 season Tuesday due to low water and ramp conditions. There is approximately 18 feet of concrete ramp remaining at the current reservoir level, according to a news release. “With the limited length of ramp and reservoir levels, it is clear we need to close the ramp early this year,” Jennifer Schuller, acting Aspen-Sopris District ranger, said in the release.

There are no other authorized public locations to launch motorized watercraft on Ruedi Reservoir.
