River Characteristics

Description
The Taylor River is a tributary of the Gunnison River located in southwestern Colorado. It flows through the San Juan Mountains and is known for its fishing and rafting opportunities. The river is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a variety of recreational activities such as hiking, camping, and boating. The upper section of the river is characterized by steep, rocky canyons and fast-moving water. In contrast, the lower section features more gentle rapids and scenic views of the surrounding mountains.
Difficulty
The Taylor river can be very rewarding. Large rainbows and browns can be found near the tailwater of the dam. Be forewarned; you will be fishing elbow to elbow with your fellow angler.
