Dennis Weaver, actor and environmentalist, donated this piece of land, located along the Uncompaghre River, for a public park. Most of it has been left in a natural state except for a small picnic area and a medicine wheel with a huge eagle sculpture in the center. Trails, access to the river and a paved bike path are near the parking lot.
The medicine wheel paths are surfaced with small gravel – easy to push along. The bike path is accessed by traveling for a short distance along a gravel road. This is a little steep and rough. Most wheelchair user will need to have some help. Heading south the one mile section, which ends in Ridgeway, is smooth, wide, flat and very scenic. The northern section climbs steeply, then parallels US 550 before ending in Ridgeway State Park. We waked/rolled along the southern section only.
The gravel lot is large enough for any RV. Park
