About

Dennis Weaver Memorial Park is an 80-acre permanent wildlife preserve along the Uncompahgre River corridor in Ridgway, Colorado. The park features miles of winding hiking and biking trails that offer views of the Cimarron Mountains and the river. A key feature is the Medicine Wheel, centered around an eagle sculpture, surrounded by cairns left by visitors. The area is known for its cottonwoods and river shrubbery, which provide fall foliage. The park is pet-friendly, has parking available, and includes a picnic area. Trails range from easy to moderate difficulty, with distances from 1,000 feet to 1.5 miles. The elevation is approximately 6,850 to 6,949 feet. Access is via Riversage Drive off Highway 550.
