Eagle River Land Ownership and Access - Between Hwy 6 and Western Town Boundary

1. As of April 2026, the latest information from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) shows the river habitat and fish population of the Eagle River between Highway 6 and the western boundary of the town are healthy at this time. Though, upcoming summer conditions may warrant fishing closures if temperatures exceed 70 degrees.
2. Fishing is allowed on all property owned by the Town of Gypsum (GREEN).  This includes fishing from the bank, wade fishing, floating through, back rowing, anchoring, etc.
3. Wade fishing or anchoring on private land is prohibited.  Any contact with the land is considered trespassing.
4. The Walker Ranch (ORANGE) is private property and may only be accessed with landowner permission. No trespassing.
5. The Eagle River Preserve property (BLUE) includes a “Fisherman and Pedestrian Easement” that specifically runs from the “river bottom and 30’ southerly of the top of bank or high-water line, subject to reliction and accretion.”  This means that bank fishing, wade fishing, floating through, back rowing and anchoring are all allowed within the easement’s boundaries, following the guidelines of the easement and considering any natural changes in the waterline.
6. Commercial fishing is not permitted on Town of Gypsum properties during voluntary angling closures as implemented by CPW.  All clients must carry appropriate licenses as required by CPW.
