State Park - Colorado River
Back to State Parks
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.
