Colorado Parks and Wildlife offices will be closed for Veteran's Day, Wednesday, November 11.
Grand Valley Get Outdoors Day
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is excited to host the annual Grand Valley Get Outdoors Day event, formally known as Outdoor Heritage Day, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Island Acres section of James M. Robb - Colorado River State Park on Sat., April 25.
About this Event
This free event is for families and individuals who want to learn outdoor skills, such as fishing, shooting, safe wildlife viewing, and more. Park entrance is free for event participants.
No previous experience or equipment is needed. CPW staff and volunteers will be at the event to help those new to using outdoor equipment.
Participants are encouraged to bring their fishing equipment; however, CPW will have fishing poles and tackle available. Do not bring any firearms as they will be provided. Participants 16 and older must have a valid fishing license to participate in the fishing events.
In addition to learning new outdoor skills, attendees will have an opportunity to interact with threatened and endangered native fish in the Colorado River at the touch-a-fish truck. CPW staff will have razorback suckers, one of the endangered native fish in the Colorado River, for attendees to see, touch, and even kiss if they wish.
