Colorado Stream Access Stakeholder Discussion - Kick Off Workshop
Join us June 12!
The Colorado Stream Access Coalition (Coalition) is a group of recreational advocates and members of the public seeking to secure and clarify the public’s ability to use the natural waters of the state for recreational purposes. Members of the coalition have sought judicial and/or legislative routes to obtain this clarity in the past. The Coalition reached out to the Colorado Water Congress (CWC) early in the process of proposing a potential new legislative initiative. They asked the CWC to help establish a facilitated forum for stakeholders to collectively develop a path forward that both protects property rights and water rights while providing access to the recreational use of rivers and streams. In-person registration has closed due to capacity. Visit our event page and register to attend virtually HERE.
