💙 The river doesn’t care who you are, where you’re from, or what you do. It welcomes you, always.

That’s why we love it. That’s why we protect it.

🌊 There's nothing like the feeling of water flowing past your legs, rod in hand, mountain air in your lungs.

This is more than recreation. It’s renewal.

Let’s protect the places that restore us.

📍 In Montana, it’s the law: the public can access any stream that can float a boat. In Colorado, touching the riverbed might get you threatened, sued, or arrested.

Time to catch up, Colorado.

The Issue – Colorado Stream Access Coalition

🧠 Did you know? In Colorado, it’s often illegal to touch the bottom of a river while floating or fishing—even in waters that belong to the public. Our stream access laws are among the most restrictive in the West.

🧵 In 1979, a court said you can’t use water over private land for recreation.
🧵 In 2023, the CO Supreme Court said citizens can’t even argue rivers are public.

This isn’t justice — it’s a Catch-22.

#RightToWade

Friday fact: Colorado is the only Western state where citizens have been denied the right to wade or stand in navigable streams.

We’re not asking for special treatment — we’re asking for the same rights people enjoy across the West.

🧐 Did you know? Colorado has over 100,000 miles of rivers — yet much of it is off-limits to the public.

In most states, if you can float it, you can fish it.

In Colorado? You might get kicked off the water.

It’s time we fix that. #StreamAccess #RightToWade #PublicWaters
