South River Road lies within the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area. The road surface is a mix of gravel and hard-packed dirt with a short and mild shelf road section. The shelf road section offers no room for passing, but visibility allows you to see up ahead so you can pick your spots to yield to traffic. You will have wide-open views of Grand Mesa and the river's canyon before dropping into the river area. Once along the river, you will find several dispersed campsites and the Cottonwood Grove Campground, which has a half dozen or so sites, picnic tables, and fire rings. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended.
