Colorado Parks and Wildlife has announced the 2025 round of funding opportunities for the Fishing is Fun Grant Program. The goal of this program is to provide funding to projects that expand fishing access across the state and provide more angling opportunities.
CPW awards around $700,000 in Fishing is Fun grants annually.
The Fishing is Fun program supports projects such as stream and river habitat improvements, access improvements, perpetual easements for public access, pond and lake habitat improvements, fish retention structures, development of new fishing ponds and amenity improvements such as shade shelters, benches and restrooms.
A fillable application form and additional program information can be found at cpw.state.co.us/fishingfun-grants. The completed application form must be submitted by Jan. 31.
