At the Headquarters Campground, walkers can enjoy a mile of nature trail to work the kinks out from the long day's drive. The primary hiking opportunity is at many of the river access sites along the river. Hiking in the area is primarily on BLM lands and offers a diverse experience for all levels and interests. With the high-desert environment, your hikes can offer some of the most scenic views found anywhere. Areas like Duffy Mt., Juniper Canyon and Cross Mountain have some excellent hiking territory.
Yampa River State Park offers several public access sites along a 134-mile stretch of the Yampa River between Hayden and the Dinosaur National Monument near the Utah border. The central park office is located on Highway 40 between the cities of Craig and Hayden. See the Yampa River State Park Brochure and Map for locations of all public access sites.
