“This is a navigable river, and I have a right to be in it.”- Roger Hill.

Can you be arrested for floating on a Colorado river? The answer might shock you.

Told in part through the efforts of angler and Coloradan Roger Hill, "Common Waters" exposes the complicated truth behind Colorado steam access and dives into the murky legal battles happening *RIGHT NOW* in an effort to secure a future where Colorado's rivers are accessible to all.

Hey folks! Unfortunately we've decided to cancel our Silverthorne Event at the Pavilion. We're committed to providing exceptional value and a robust experience, and based on current registrations, we feel it's best to take a step back and reschedule this event.

Thanks for your understanding!

Despite Colorado being the most popular destination for river recreation in the country, we have some of the worst public access laws in the west. NRS, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, American Whitewater, & Bonfire Collective are producing Common Waters, a film that will educate the public on our river access rights - or lack thereof - and inspire Coloradans to take action to improve the status quo. Rivers in Colorado sustain us, supporting our way of life and robust outdoor economy. The Colorado Stream Access Coalition believes that there is a path forward to ensure that outdoor recreation on Colorado’s rivers can be enjoyed by all while ensuring that private landowner and water rights are protected.
