Little Salt Wash Sports Park

About

Little Salt Wash Sports Park in Fruita is a multi-use facility that includes hiking and walking trails, primarily serving as part of the Colorado Riverfront Trail system. The area offers views of the Colorado River and sandstone cliffs characteristic of the Colorado Plateau. While the park is heavily geared toward organized athletics with baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and frisbee golf, it also features natural environment areas and walking paths suitable for fall hiking. The Little Salt Wash Loop is a short, easy route, though specific trail lengths vary by source, with some noting a 0.6-mile loop and others referencing longer connections. The park is pet-friendly, with dogs required to be on a leash. Facilities include parking, restrooms, picnic tables, and reservable shelters. The location is accessible year-round, with fall being a popular time for foliage viewing in the broader Fruita area. Elevation sits around 4,532 feet.
