Video Tour East River Ranches Homesite #5

The East River – This great river starts as a stream when it falls out of Emerald Lake well above Gothic. It is a picturesque setting to look down on this meandering river from Gothic Road as it winds it way around the back side of Mt. Crested Butte where it is joined by Brush Creek. It continues on the East side of the valley and the Slate River runs into it before the bridge on Highway 135 below CB South. Unfortunately the majority of the East River flows through private lands – there are some stretches behind Mt. Crested Butte that offer access as well a few miles of public access at the Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery (if you have not visited – you will see the sign off Highway 135 on the West side of the highway – drive in and look a the thousands of fingerling and larger trout in the raceways – ask a Ranger for some fish food and if they have time they will give you a quick overview of the facility). In the late Summer and Fall there is a run of Kokanee Salmon from the Blue Mesa Reservoir up the Gunnison River, then the East River back to the Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery – this can be an exciting time on the water! Here is another article about Flyfishing on the East River.
