Confluence Park — Attraction in Delta

Great place for BBQs, spending time with the kids, walking the dogs, fishing, dates, you name it! I wouldn't swim in the water though! It's nasty with green slime during parts of the year.

Bank fishing is hit and miss. Boat is better. There are small bluegill, large rainbow trout (nothng like the littl 10" babies - most are 16+ with many 20 + being pulled out), few catfish (near impossible to pull out but it has been done), and carp.

Lush green grass, tons of ants at the back of the pond, bike trails, bridge that sways (kind of freaky to walk over), Frisbee golf in the back. Geese and ducks are so far friendly (which is surprising because kids keep chasing them). There are signs not to feed them and CPW does come around and check for fishing licenses.

The 2 shelters there can be rented through the rec center on site. The smaller ones are first come first serve. They have new round picnic tables which are super nice.... except for the first shelter always has goose poop...

We love Confluence Park! The park has something for everyone. It is a great place to take your dogs for a walk, take a quiet stroll along the river or lake, or just sit and enjoy the scenery. Most walking trails are wide, flat and covered with that red crushed gravel. There is one area that does have sidewalk and is wheelchair accessible. The park has a challenging disc golf course that runs through the trees and along the river. The BMX/mountain bike course is fun for both kids and adults. There are two dog parks with lots of space and with easy access. The park is great all year round but can get very hot in the summer so we love going for our walks in the mornings. Fall is great at the park and some of the walking paths will take you beneath the golden leaves. Even winter is a great time to head to the park. The lake freezes over and becomes covered with squawking geese. We are so happy our little town has such a great...

Confluence Park and Lake is one of the greatest natural spaces in Western Colorado, although certainly on a smaller scale (approximately 350 acres) it rivals the regional State Parks and National Monuments themselves in terms of beauty and activity. Several miles of trail run beside the Gunnison and Uncompaghre Rivers and loop around Confluence Lake itself.

The park features many outdoor fitness stations overlooking the bodies of water, a gorgeous and well-maintained disc golf course, two fenced dog runs and an extensive horse trail. More than half a dozen covered picnic tables with grills encircle the lake and there are two playgrounds within the park. All of this within minutes of the Bill Heddles Recreation Center, Fort Uncompaghre Living History Museum and less than ten minutes from the North Delta Adobes and the Devil's Thumb Municipal Golf Course.

The park is owned by the City of Delta and has no...
