About the Colorado River Wildlife Area and Pear Park Section
The numerous small lakes in the Pear Park Trail section provide critical habitat for endangered fish. Opportunities for hiking and recreation facilities have been kept to a minimum.
The separate, Colorado River Wildlife Area was constructed to replace wetlands lost during the Grand Valley Salinity Control period starting in 1979. Recreation facilities have been kept to a minimum here, but hiking, wildlife observation, and limited fishing access are available.
DIRECTIONS
