State Park - Colorado River
Back to Main
Area Map |
Pack a lunch and enjoy the day along the Colorado River at one of the sections
of Colorado River State Park. The park offers great scenery and is a popular area
for hiking, biking, picnicking, fishing and swimming near the Colorado National
Monument and the Grand Mesa.
Unique to the park system, Colorado River
State Park is actually five sections of beautiful stops along the Colorado River
as it flows through the Grand Junction area. From Island Acres on the east through
Corn Lake, Wildlife Area, Connected Lakes and on down the river to Fruita, this
remarkable park has redefined what parks are all about. The trail system winds
through stands of tall trees and along the banks of this famous and magnificent
Western river. Visitors can always stop along the way to enjoy great fishing and
picnics in delightful settings.
Interested in camping? Does being nestled
along the Colorado River in the bottom of Debeque Canyon sound good? Then Island
Acres, 5 miles east of Palisade, is for you. Do you want to take in the scenic
lower Grand Valley with the Colorado National Monument as the backdrop? Then plan
to stay at Fruita. Both campgrounds are a great place to relax or use as a base
for a wide variety of area activities.
Island Acres and Fruita also offer
a variety of day use activities including swimming, picnicking, trails, fishing
and boating for hand propelled or electric powered craft. Group picnic facilities
are available and may be reserved by contacting the park.
