James M. Robb Colorado River State Park is a unique 819-acre park consisting of five distinct sections strung along 35 miles of the Colorado River like a “string of pearls.” Each section offers different outdoor recreation opportunities, with 130 campsites and 13 miles of trails throughout the park.

Who was James M. Robb?

James M. Robb was a civic leader, former parks board member and chair, elected representative, and champion of state parks.
