Habitat Stamp Required
Each June, River Float launches from the Carbondale boat ramp, a state of Colorado property. Colorado Division of Wildlife requires a Habitat Stamp to use this facility. Each participant between the ages of 18 and 65 is required to purchase their own 2008 habitat stamp for this event. Stamps are about $10.25 separately or about $5 with a hunting or fishing license and are good for the whole calendar year. Please do your part to help protect our local wildlife.
