 | Camping In State Parks |
| | Colorado River State Park | | Unique to the park system, this area is actually five sections of stops along the Colorado River. There are two separate campgrounds, a swimming hole, and several picnic areas. | |
|
| | Vega State Park | | Along with several campgrounds in the park, the lake offers great boating, water-skiing and fishing. Excellent ice fishing and snowmobiling have made Vega State Park popular with both winter and summer crowds. Visitors may access trails atop Grand Mesa for hiking, trail biking and four-wheeling in the summer, and cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. | |
