Guidebook for Delta Colorado
Parks & Nature
Confluence Park lies northwest of downtown Delta at the confluence of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre rivers. The 265-acre park offers five miles of trails for walking, sand volleyball courts, dog parks, picnic tables and shelters, a skate park, two ball fields, tennis courts, and 65-acre Confluence Lake. The centerpiece lake is popular in summer, with a boat ramp and dock, non-motorized boat, fishing for stocked trout, handicap-accessible fishing pier, kid’s fishing pond, and swim beach. The north side of the park by the confluence is a natural area with hiking trails shaded by tall cottonwood trees and lots of wildlife, including nesting great blue herons. Local serene lake abundant with water fowl of all kinds surrounded by walking trails, picnic areas, exercise equipment along the trail, and a swinging bridge directly over the confluence of the Uncompaghre and Gunnison Rivers.
Tips:
*Two miles of good trails thread through trees along the banks of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre rivers near the confluence, offering hikers peace and quiet on the edge of the city bustle. The natural area is a great place for birdwatching, with bald eagles perched in trees and herons fishing in river shallows. A swinging bridge crosses the Uncompahgre River to a short trail that leads north to the river confluence.
*Confluence Lake, easily accessible from parking areas on the east and west sides of the lake, offers quality fishing. *Originally the town sewage lagoon, the lake was transformed into a popular fishery. The lake was dredged to a depth of 35 feet for a trout habitat. Anglers catch rainbow trout, catfish, sunfish, bass, and bluegill, depending on the season and water temperatures.
*You’re welcome to bring your pooch to the park, but keep him on a leash and pick up after him. Confluence Park also has two dog parks on the north side by the lake for your pup to romp around leash-free. A small fenced area is for small dogs while a big fenced dog park is for big ones.

The Fort Uncompahgre Living History Museum at the northeast corner of Confluence Park tells the story of Delta’s early history. The museum is a replica of a fur trading post built by trapper Antoine Robidoux in the 1820s just west of today’s site. Stop by from June to October for a glimpse back to western Colorado’s colorful past.

In our backyard sits the Grand Mesa, the largest flat topped mountain in the world at an area of about 500 square miles. Located just 35 miles north west of Montrose and 40 miles east of Grand Junction, the mesa sits about 10,000 feet in elevation. With over 300 lakes and reservoirs makes the Grand Mesa a four season recreational opportunity from back country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter to hiking, fishing, camping, and mountain biking in the summer. Spring can come late to the Mesa with high snow depth and limited road access.

1735 E RdThe Gunnison river holds all kinds of trout within it’s forks, but most of the fish caught will be rainbows and browns. The upper reaches of most rivers including the Gunny can begin to hold brook trout and/or cutthroat when the elevation gets high enough to keep cool water temps. The Gunny is a large river and most of it can be floated when the flows are high enough. Ample wade fishing is available as well throughout the year. Fishing varies from easy to moderate and most anglers will be able to find some fish on the sections they choose to explore. Though it is dammed up in several areas, it fishes most like a freestone and contains a ton of stoneflies, mayflies, midges and caddis to keep trout rising and feeding 24/7.
