The City of Delta

A City at the Confluence

The City of Delta, Colorado, is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains and is located between Grand Junction and Montrose at the confluence of The Uncompahgre and Gunnison Rivers. We are experiencing controlled growth and the recreational opportunities abound - Devil's Thumb 18 hole regulation golf course; Bill Heddles Recreation Center; Confluence Lake and Park with fishing and walking trails; mountain climbing, hiking, hunting and skiing within one hour drive, and an active growing senior citizen program.
