Confirmed from Animas Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverside park linking to an 8-mi. network of natural cycling & hiking trails.

“You can spend many enjoyable hours here walking on the trails and enjoying the beautiful Animas River.”

Beautiful park to visit and walk the trails. Deer and geese can sometimes be seen in the area. Fall colors are amazing here.
I recently spent some time at Animas Park and wanted to share my experience. While Animas Park isn't as developed as Berg Park, it has its own charms. The park offers excellent views of the Animas River. A good gravel walking path with mile markers makes it easy to navigate and enjoy the surroundings.
We absolutely love coming here to walk! There's always lots of wildlife and the river is beautiful. The main trails are well kept for walking or running, or you can walk through the trees on any of the wildlife trails.
Absolutely loved this park. It was perfect to get out and enjoy nature. This park has so much to offer. Over 26 miles to explore. It was clean and peaceful.
