James M. Robb Colorado River State Park is one of our favorite local spots, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. I especially love taking my daughter there for a relaxing day of fishing. The park offers easy access to the Colorado River, and there are two wonderfully stocked ponds that are perfect for young anglers and seasoned ones alike. Whether we’re casting from the bank or enjoying a quiet moment watching the water, it’s always a peaceful experience.
One thing that stands out about James M. Robb is how well it’s maintained. For a state park, the bathrooms are surprisingly decent—clean, stocked, and far better than what you'd expect from similar locations. It’s always a relief knowing we have access to decent facilities when spending the day outside with kids.
There are plenty of access points to the river, which makes exploring the shoreline easy and enjoyable. Whether you're fishing, kayaking, or just looking for a scenic walk, the park has something for everyone. The surrounding trails are great for a short hike or a casual stroll, and the views of the mesas and water are stunning any time of day.
Overall, James M. Robb State Park is a gem on the Western Slope. It’s become a special place for me and my daughter, where we can make memories, catch fish, and enjoy the natural beauty of Colorado. I’m grateful we have it so close to home.
