Small riverside park and trail along the Animas River with winding channels, cottonwoods and wetlands — great for intimate landscapes, reflections, birdlife and seasonal color. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and reflections; late spring and fall offer foliage and fewer insects. Easy roadside access off Bisti Hwy with small parking areas and mostly flat, marked trails; no entry fee. Weekday mornings avoid locals and anglers.
