There is a lot going on here for everyone. Kayak competitions are held here. There is a dedicated area for kayakers. There is a walkway that follows the Animas River that locals enjoy for biking, walking, jogging and more. The park offers a picnic area and large playground for children to enjoy. Bathrooms and a tourist center is also located here.
Although bitterly cold, we tried our hand at panning for cold. Did not find any gold, but got frozen hands, instead. It was none the less, beautiful.
Great walking path, clear waters, calming walk along the walkways around the city. Great to see a lot of healthy activity taking place. Residents lucky to have such beauty to walk next to.

The Animas river is awesome any time of year, great intermediate kayaking and above depending upon the season. It's a great view for me because I live right there! Love to hear white water 24/7. Fun tubing and rafting most all summer long
The D&S narrow gauge steam powered scenic railroad follows the Animas River from Durango to Silverton and contributes greatly to making it the most picturesque scenic railroad in the country... Awesome...!Cya down the road ... .. .O o- Carl (BC Mayor..=)~
I have wandered up and down the Animas in Durango for many years and every visit seems like a new adventure. The water levels fluctuate with snowmelt and rains upstream. Obviously, the water clarity is affected as well. I enjoy fly fishing for trout and photographing the reflections in the water. On occasion, it is fun to see kayak competitions below the park. A beautiful stream.
We rode our bikes from one end to the other while staying in Durango. Really nice views of the river and town. There was one short gravel section that must have been under construction -- not too great with our road bikes, but it wasn't too long.
Water was a bit high from big rains before we came, so the fishing wasn't so good, but with the right water flow, it looks like a good place to catch some trout.
Love hiking the animas river the scenery there is so special! Love it I love every part of Durango did not have any dislikes
