Grand Junction is named for the confluence of two mighty rivers: the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers. This area provides an ideal location for your favorite water sports, whether it's kayaking, fishing, floating, or boating. Explore picturesque lakes by kayak on top of the world's largest flat-topped mountain, or leisurely float through red-rock canyons on the Colorado River. If you like fishing, Grand Junction is surrounded by lakes like Corn Lake, Highline Lake, and Connected Lakes where you can sink your rod and lure in trout or whitefish.
