Goose seasons in Colorado run different windows by species group and zone; this page shows the overall span the agency publishes and sends you to the agency table for the species detail. The brochure defines dark geese as Canada, white fronted, brant and cackling geese plus all other non light geese. Light goose and the North Park, San Luis Valley and South Park special area seasons run their own windows; the brochure's goose pages carry the full species and area detail.

Yes: September 12, 2026 to September 20, 2026, as published by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. September teal season in Lake and Chaffee counties and all areas east of I-25.

Waterfowl seasons are set in two steps: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service publishes annual federal frameworks for each of the four administrative flyways (Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, Pacific), setting the outside limits, and each state selects its season dates and zones inside its flyway's framework. Colorado spans two flyways: most of the state sets dates inside the Central Flyway framework, and the western portion inside the Pacific Flyway framework. The zone table keeps the agency's own labels for both portions.

Colorado's zones (Central Flyway, Northeast Zone, Central Flyway, Mountain/Foothills Zone, Central Flyway, Southeast Zone, Pacific Flyway, Western Zone, Pacific Flyway, Eastern Zone) are drawn by the agency along highways, rivers and county lines. Your zone is determined from the agency's own map: Colorado Parks and Wildlife publishes the official zone map and boundary descriptions, linked from this page.
