Letโs bring our law into the 21st century.

Coloradoโs rivers are where we find ourselves. Letโs keep them open to all.

โ๏ธ The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that no one has standing to ask whether a river is public. Not even the state. Not even you.
Thatโs a broken systemโand weโre here to fix it.

๐ Coloradoโs Constitution says all natural streams are the property of the public. So why can billionaires block us from fishing or floating? Time to restore the public trust.

๐ There's nothing like the feeling of water flowing past your legs, rod in hand, mountain air in your lungs.
This is more than recreation. Itโs renewal.

๐ In Montana, itโs the law: the public can access any stream that can float a boat. In Colorado, touching the riverbed might get you threatened, sued, or arrested.
Time to catch up, Colorado.
#StreamAccess #WesternValues #RightToWade #PublicWaters
๐ง Did you know? In Colorado, itโs often illegal to touch the bottom of a river while floating or fishingโeven in waters that belong to the public. Our stream access laws are among the most restrictive in the West.

๐งตย In 1979, a court said you canโt use water over private land for recreation.
๐งตย In 2023, the CO Supreme Court said citizens canโt even argue rivers are public.
This isnโt justice โ itโs a Catch-22.

๐งColoradoโs rivers = serious economic power.
Water-based recreation drives $11.5B/year and supports 72,000 jobsโ3x more than mining.
But it all depends on public access to public waters.

All to block public access to public rivers and streams.
This is Colorado in 2025.

Friday fact: Colorado is the only Western state where citizens have been denied the right to wade or stand in navigable streams.
Weโre not asking for special treatment โ weโre asking for the same rights people enjoy across the West.

#TBT: In 2022, The New York Times asked:
โDoes this fisherman have the right to be in a billionaireโs backyard?โ
Roger Hill says yes. And so do we.

๐ง Did you know? Colorado has over 100,000 miles of rivers โ yet much of it is off-limits to the public.
In most states, if you can float it, you can fish it.
In Colorado? You might get kicked off the water.
Itโs time we fix that. #StreamAccess #RightToWade #PublicWaters
Happy Earth Day from Colorado! ๐ฃ๐ถ
