Yampa River Guides are a FREE, downloadable series of map guides in PDF format, designed for recreational boaters on the Yampa River.

When the entire series has been completed it will include 41 detailed river maps, covering approximately 158 miles of river from the Chuck Lewis State Wildlife Area upstream of Steamboat Springs to the Deerlodge Park boat ramp on the eastern boundary of Dinosaur National Monument.
With the publication of the Sunbeam Reach guide in April 2026, the Yampa River Guides now offer recreational boaters complete coverage of the river from Chuck Lewis to the East Cross Mountain take-out. Work on the Cross Mountain Canyon guide is currently underway, with publication anticipated later this spring.
The Lily Park guide, covering the flatwater between West Cross Mountain and Deerlodge Park, should then be available later this summer.
