River Sections
James M. Robb Colorado River State Park is divided into five river sections. Each section offers its visitors different experiences, activities and amenities.

Colorado River Wildlife Area
The 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.

Connected Lakes
The Connected Lakes section is a day-use park that provides visitors with a network of trails that traverse a series of ponds. There are a wide variety of recreational opportunities, including warmwater fishing and accessible fishing piers, sheltered picnicking areas, hiking, paddle sports and birding opportunities.

Corn Lake serves as headquarters for the park and is only open for day use. The section provides boaters and rafters a launching site for the Colorado River. A .9-mile hardpacked trail follows the lakeshore. The trail provides access to both the Colorado River and Corn Lake for fishing and is used by hikers and bicyclists. The park also offers ADA-accessible picnic sites and restrooms for physically challenged visitors.
