Title

Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA)

Description

The Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA) was created in 1989 with the passage of Colorado State House Bill 1253. Operating under the original Arkansas River Recreation Management Plan (ARRMP), the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and Colorado State Parks forged a groundbreaking intergovernmental agreement in 1989 proving that, with the support of the public users, this kind of partnership can be very successful.

Building on the 1989 Arkansas River Recreation Management Paln, a new management plan was released in 2001. AHRA is now managed through a partnership between the BLM, CPW, and the U.S. Forest Service. The 2001 plan was revised in 2019: Final Management Plan and Environmental Assessment: Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area

Annual reports from 2000-current are available in digital format (see links to the right).
