The Piedra River flows south out of the San Juan Mountains and into the San Juan River to form Navajo Lake. It offers some 40 miles of exceptionally beautiful wild trout fishing. The Piedra also offers challenging intermediate whitewater runs.
The Piedra is very cold water. The river is not navigable by open canoe and paddle rafts are not recommended. The average gradient is 53 feet per mile with swift flow and infrequent slack pools.

Facilities: There are no facilities along Piedra River. Lower Piedra Campground is located nearby.
