A relaxing float from Blue Heron Park on the west side of Grand Junction (24 Road) to Fruita State Park will take you through some spectacular scenery unknown to most locals. A local float with views of the Colorado National Monument runs through the Canadian Goose flyway and a series of small rapids. With easy access and a short shuttle time this trip is perfect for morning to mid-day starts. This stretch of Colorado river offers plenty of good swimming on hot days.
Accessibility:
Put-in at Blue Heron Park in Grand Junction (24 Road) is a narrow ramp but still accessible to people in wheelchairs.
Take out in Fruita State Park is even easier, fully accessible, with an eddy for relaxed take-out.
