Welcome to James M. Robb Colorado River State Park

The Colorado River State Park was renamed James M. Robb Colorado River State Park in 2005 to honor a visionary. Mr. Robb was instrumental in creating this “string of pearls,” or five distinct sections, that are this park. The park links together various trails along the river corridor from east to west. Along this trail system, there are numerous picnic sites and fishing opportunities.

From Fruita on the west end to Island Acres on the east end and three stops in between, this is one park split into five sections. Choose a section below to learn more.

History

James M. Robb was a civic leader.

James M. Robb was a civic leader, former parks board member and chair, elected representative and champion of state parks. Robb helped create the Colorado Riverfront Foundation, referring to this Grand Junction area park as a “string of pearls.” Colorado Parks and Wildlife and the communities involved are working together to build a future 35-mile river-corridor trail system to connect this “string of pearls.”
