Confluence Lake

About

Confluence Lake is a 70-acre lake located in Confluence Park, Delta, Colorado, at the junction of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre Rivers. The site serves as a moderate fall hiking destination, with the primary trail being a 2.5-mile loop that typically takes 45 minutes to complete. The area is accessible year-round, though September through November is noted for fall foliage and dry conditions. Amenities include parking, restrooms, a dog park, and ADA-accessible fishing peninsulas. Pets are permitted on trails and in the dog park, though they must be leashed in general areas. The park also features a living history museum and disc golf, but the lake itself is the focal point for hiking and water-based recreation.
