The Dolores is navigable by small boats from the San Miguel River to its mouth with the Colorado. However the river is extensively used for irrigation and during low water years is wholly unnavigable. In high-runoff years, the section from Bradfield Ranch near Cahone, Colorado down to Slickrock, Colorado, offers outstanding scenery, excellent camping, and terrific rapids for inflatables and kayaks. The section from Slickrock to Bedrock, Colorado goes through the goosenecks of a spectacular sandstone canyon with several mostly class II rapids.
