Rio Grande River Fishing Map – Colorado

Fish smarter, not harder.

This detailed Rio Grande River Fishing Map was created by local anglers who know the river firsthand—because they’ve spent decades fishing, wading, and exploring one of Colorado’s most iconic headwater rivers.

Covering the Rio Grande from its headwaters in the Weminuche Wilderness downstream to Del Norte, this map clearly shows where you can legally access and fish the river across high-alpine wilderness, forested valleys, and classic freestone water near town. Public lands and access points are presented in a clean, easy-to-read format designed for real use on the water.

What’s Included:

• Clearly marked public lands, including federal, state, county, and city ownership

• Public fishing access points along the Rio Grande

• River miles, bridges, and key reference points

• Trails and walk-in access areas

• Parking locations not found on other maps, identified through local knowledge

• High-resolution cartography designed for outdoor navigation and trip planning

Why Anglers Love It:

Unlike generic fishing maps, this map focuses on access areas and land-ownership clarity, so you know exactly where you’re allowed to be—without confusion, clutter, or guesswork. This is especially important in remote headwater sections and along mixed-ownership valleys where access can change quickly. The added parking data makes trip planning easier and helps anglers spread out across lesser-known stretches.

Available Formats:

• Folded Paper Map – 15x12" unfolded, 3x6" folded pocket guide, ideal for fly shops, travel, and glove boxes

• GPS Mobile Map – Compatible with Avenza Maps for offline navigation

Whether you’re fishing remote alpine water deep in the wilderness or classic runs near Del Norte, this map helps you spend less time searching for access—and more time fishing.
