Buena Vista River Park Tours

Choose one or more items to build your trip:
There's nothing more pleasant than perching on the banks of a river and watching the water as it flows downstream. Why not pack a picnic basket and spend a quiet couple of hours at Buena Vista River Park?

This flowing body of water is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Buena Vista. But Buena Vista River Park isn't the only drawcard here. Cottonwood Hot Springs, Arkansas River, and Cottonwood Lake are some other worthwhile attractions nearby.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,163 reviews)
The hotel seemed newer and nice. We stayed for two nights Friday and Saturday. We were a group of three ladies. Here is the concerning issue, there were unmarked cars offering rides to people right outside of the hotel. We parked in the ramp across the street, we felt uneasy walking to and from the car. Friday night after dark the area did not feel safe. Saturday night there were more tourists and it felt a little safer. Friday night felt off it’s very hard to explain. Overall hotel was kept up nicely. They do a good job of locking doors after hours and the elevators are card access. If this hotel is adjacent to where you need to be in Denver it’s going to be okay. But if you are not needing to be in this downtown area, head to the suburbs. We stayed because we were attending a show downtown.

There is a rather fun synthetic climbing rock there to challenge the kids. One poor boy got up, but couldn't get down and his mom was wondering what to do. I was able to get him to slide down by placing his feet on my shoulders and then grab his hands with mine, sit down on my shoulders and then lower him down to the ground. I think he had enough of that rock!

5/5 - Excellent
