Welcome to the City of Arvada!
About us
Arvada, Colorado is a beautiful first-ring suburb of Denver, the Mile High City. Arvada retains a small-town feel even with a population of over 120,000. Established in 1870, Arvada enjoys a rich history, quiet tree-lined neighborhoods, and a robust mix of business. Our strong civic leadership balances quality of life with an understanding and support of business and economic development. Arvada's land encompasses nearly 23,000 acres. Three proximate interstate highways provide easy access to the larger metropolitan region and Denver International Airport. An extraordinary trail system links with Denver trails on the east and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to the west, punctuated with thousands of acres of parks and open spaces. Residents and businesses have easy access to world-class research institutions including the University of Colorado and Colorado School of Mines; in addition, the Arvada campus of Red Rocks Community College provides training assistance to meet employer needs. Arvada offers unique amenities. The historic downtown, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, provides an eclectic shopping and dining experience, and in the near future will include one of three area transit stops as part of the metropolitan commuter rail system currently under development. Arvada's diverse economic base, highly educated workforce, low crime rate, and superb quality of life have helped shape our community into one of the most attractive and competitive cities in the Centennial State! The City strives to provide accessible digital assets. To request reasonable accommodations for accessibility visit the City's webpage: ArvadaCO.gov/Accessibility

There were also: 🔎2,899 Boat Inspections 🐟 21,050 Fish Stocked 🎣 2,877 Fish Caught 🙌 7,872 Volunteer Hours Worked The reservoir simply could serve that many visitors without the help of our incredible group of volunteer Reservoir Rangers! Rangers help with the daily operations of the reservoir by providing guest assistance, performing boat inspections and much more. The reservoir is in need of more volunteers to join the Ranger program for the 2025 season that runs April through October. Training is scheduled in March, so now is the perfect time to sign to become a Ranger! Visit arvadaco.gov/rangers to volunteer!
