During your stay at The River’s Edge Motel Lodge & Resort, there is a chance you’ll want to explore what lies beyond beautiful Ouray. Thankfully, the neighboring areas are brimming with sights to explore and one of these is Dennis Weaver Memorial Park found in the town Ridgway. The park earns its name from the late actor Dennis Weaver, perhaps best known for his role as Chester Goode on Gunsmoke, one of the longest-running television series in history.
A popular destination, Dennis Weaver Memorial Park encompasses more than fifty acres. Among its many qualities is its status as a permanent wildlife preserve. Additionally, the park is nestled close to the Uncompahgre River, a short distance from the environmentally conscious RiverSage subdivision. Park visitors will find plenty of miles of scenic trails ideal for biking and hiking. These trails make for some truly spectacular vistas of the river and the majestic Colorado mountains.
Once you’ve settled down for a cozy meal in the picnic area, check out Dennis Weaver Memorial Park’s river walk area open at all times during the year. The walk consists of about two miles roundtrip, extending from Eagle to the Railroad Bridge. If you enjoy fishing, canoeing, or photography, you’ll absolutely love the experience.
