Welcome to the Arkansas Headwaters, one of the nation's premier recreation areas!
Stretching for almost 150 miles along the Arkansas River, the area offers abundant
and outstanding opportunities for fishing, rafting, kayaking, picnicking, hiking,
camping, mountain biking, and sightseeing among deep canyons, broad valleys and
towering mountain peaks. The cities and towns along the river - Leadville, Buena
Vista, Poncha Springs, Salida, Canon City, Florence and Pueblo - offer fine dining,
lodging and plenty of Western hospitality.
The Arkansas Headwaters Recreation
Area (AHRA) is a landmark cooperative effort of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management
and Colorado State Parks. Through this partnership, the agencies provide visitors
with outstanding recreation opportunities and care for the nationally significant
natural resources of the Arkansas Valley.
From the peaks to the prairies,
the Arkansas River is a powerful influence, shaping lives and landscapes.
