Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area - Visitor center in Salida - 307 W Sackett Ave, USA

Lovely spot for all things outdoors! Great views, picnic tables and play places for the kiddos with a small amphitheater. The river is quiet, soothing and clean. Plenty of shopping and restaurants around for fun.

Along Highway 50, west of Cañon city... a beautiful stop... across from Five Points Campsite... Bathrooms to relieve yourself and picnic tables to relax after 😄... Try to spot the big horn sheep when the river isn't grasping your attention... Definitely going to throw a line out and see what is biting... Could spend hours hiking around

The AHRA (not to be confused with the American Hot Rod Association) should be your first stop for information regarding the Arkansas River. The staff are courteous and professional. There are brochures galore for hiking, bicycling, and river activities.

Beautiful place for a stroll or watching people play water sports. Come early since parking fills up fast

The five points campground in Canon city This campground is absolutely stunning and I would have loved to stay another day. (here comes the BUT) It must have been a serious tale of unfortunate events and poor planning on my part however, we set up camp decided that it was secure and went to the royal gorge rafting and zip lining tours which was amazing however when we got back our tents blew away I would have to say 50feet and the rain was soaked in the mattresses and the clothes. The second tale of unfortunate events were that a scorpion stung my in the rear end and although it was not deadly I did go to the hospital because I thought I was having an allergic reaction because my lips and neck were tingling that was just my bodies response and the adrenaline kicking in. In all the scorpion lived and so did I. We go to these places to relax and take life in a new perspective and I have no hate for this place its just requires a little more patience then I had. The third tale of unfortunate events is that we had a encounter of another species of mother natures beauties that deserves so so much respect and yet gets none which is ridiculous, anyways, that was on our last day and we just changed camp sites and left it be it was not there in the beginning of our stay but it was a little daunting being careful of every step you take. Now for the fourth and final tale of unfortunate events is that the sheer amount of bugs that bite was astounding and I am not one to shy away because of some bugs they do not scare me. However, I can say that I am one big ball of itch. Alright, if you have made it this far its a true state of unfortunante events and im impressed you've made it this far! Have fun camping and be safe and respectful to all that you encounter!

Plenty of lure fishing for the most tasty wild caught trout!!! Clean river banks!!! Recently opened raft docks lots of professonial raft trips. One hundred and fifty miles of floating on the Arkansas River with breathtaking panaramic views in full circle!!! Lots of amazing local lakes are just minutes away!!! Be safe and bring your life jackets enjoy youself and make schelduled floats in calm beautiful waters. A lifetime of adventure to experiece kiyak, rafting, fishing and boat tours on twin lakes. The mature children and adults will talk and recomend this real adventure make appointments and receive proffesional services ask about permits and get licensed guides to show you the experience of a lifetime!!! . I recommend you to enjoy all the adventure!!!

Why all the reviews mainly by local guides? May not be the case but seems like a local business hustle! I am initially interested in RV accommodation info as this is supposed to be an online RV site info portal. Then I decide where and how to get to places I want to see. This site needs some work!

Absolutely beautiful considering it’s in the middle of a busy town! Heaven on earth! Fishing is great, trails are peaceful and spacious!
