About Yampa River State Park

Protected since 1998, this park centers on a stretch of the Yampa River as it runs through Routt and Moffat Counties in northwestern Colorado. The river itself is the main feature, with the park land following its course rather than surrounding a single fixed site. Its location spans two counties, a detail that shapes how the park's boundaries extend beyond a single jurisdiction.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
