One Riverfront Trail System
- The One Riverfront Trail System lines the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers, forming a near-contiguous path between Fruita, Grand Junction, and Palisade.
- Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction established the Colorado Riverfront Commission in 1987 to reclaim and preserve the river corridors.
- The trail includes sections such as the Audubon Trail, Blue Heron Trail, Connected Lakes and Corn Lake, Riverside Park, Watson Island, and the Palisade Trail.
- Over the last 25 years, more than 30 riverfront properties totaling almost 2,500 acres have been protected through conservation easements.
