Colorado River Headwaters Byway
Pioneer Park and Colorado River Restoration Project, CO

Pioneer Park is an 80-acre open space park located along the banks of the Colorado River. Originally, the site served as the location of a railroad depot and refueling station. Now it offers camping, fishing, trails access and wildlife watching opportunities. The river flow has been altered by upstream diversion, moving its channel over 100 feet. Numerous federal, state, regional and local partners are working to restore the river channel and preserve unique wetlands features.
