Unique to the park system, Colorado River State Park is actually five sections of beautiful stops along the Colorado River as it flows through Grand Junction. 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 stop along the way to enjoy great fishing and picnics in delightful settings.

• Take a hike through the Island Acres section on a .75 mile, self-guided, hard-packed trail following the course of the Colorado River.
• Go rainbow trout fishing at the Island Acres or Corn Lake.
