James M. Robb – Colorado River State Park

James M. Robb State Park is a Colorado state park spread across five sections along the Colorado River in Mesa County. The property includes designated camping areas, boat access points, and swimming zones distributed across roughly 890 acres of riverside land.

The protected area was established in 1994 by Colorado Parks and named after James M. Robb in 2005 to honor his role in river region development. This designation recognized his ongoing commitment to preserving and managing the Colorado River landscape.

The park connects communities through a planned 35-mile trail system, promoting environmental education and local recreational engagement along the Colorado River.

Island Acres and Fruita sections offer overnight camping with basic facilities, while Corn Lake, Connected Lakes, and the Wildlife Area are open for day visits only. Boat ramps at multiple entry points provide easy water access, and parking areas are available at most entrances.

The park offers river floating experiences on the Colorado River between different sections, including a stretch with class II rapids that creates varied water conditions. These water journeys reveal different aspects of the river's character and flow.
