Welcome to Colorado Parks and Wildlife
Angler Fly Fishing in RiverColorado Parks and Wildlife was created July 1, 2011 from the merger of Colorado State Parks and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, two nationally recognized leaders in conservation, outdoor recreation and wildlife management.

Colorado’s 41 state parks host 12 million visits a year, providing a vital recreational resource for residents and visitors alike. Colorado’s world-class wildlife and 23 million acres of public land draws hunters, anglers and wildlife lovers from around the globe. Together, the programs and resources managed by the new agency generate about $4.7 billion in economic activity every year.

At Colorado Parks and Wildlife, we will never stop working to ensure that citizens and visitors continue to enjoy the top-notch recreation and abundant wildlife that make Colorado one of the very best places to live and work.
