The segment of the river from Granby to Kremmling is very popular for fishing and a portion has been designated as Gold Medal Water by the Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW). Hwy 9 Fishing Access is about 1 miles south of Kremmling on the west side of the road just before you cross the Colorado River. Facilities include a parking lot. River access is about 1/2 mile long.
