Riverside Picnic Area

The Riverside Picnic Area lies on the western bank of the Uncomphagre River hidden just below the Eagle Monument.

This inspiring riverside pasture is the perfect place for a family picnic. Bring a lawn chair and a book and read to the healing sounds of running waters.

While here, you are in the midst of a wildlife and waterfowl preserve so there are no dogs or horses permitted.

Accross the river you will see the bike path that leads south to the Town of Ridgway and north to the Ridgway Reservoir.

(Public bathrooms are located on the bike path between Ridgway and the Memorial Park)

Directions to the Park: approximately 1.5 miles north of Ridgway, turn west at RiverSage Drive. Follow the road down across the bridge, and park in the lot on the right. R.V. turn-around available. The entrance to the park is marked by a sign "Dennis Weaver Memorial Park," but you will see the Eagle as you cross the bridge.
