#10 - Animas River Trail
Durango, ColoradoLength: 13.7 mi • Est. 5 h 31 m
This is a beautiful walk or bike ride by the river. This paved trail has some hills and is well marked. It has easy access to downtown Durango and Animas Brewing is also right on the trail.
Accessibility: There is 1 designated handicapped-accessible space in the paved parking lot off of East 29th Street at the north end of the trail. It is van-accessible with striped access aisles. There are do not appear to be any designated handicapped-accessible spaces in the gravel parking lot off of La Posta Road at Dallabetta Park at the south end of the trail.
The trail surface is paved asphalt or concrete, smooth, and typically at least 10 feet wide. There is a painted dividing line along some of the trail which reduces the width. The estimated grade is mostly gentle (5% or less), except for steep (8-12%) downhill sections at about 2.2 miles, 3.0 miles, 3.9 miles, 4.1 miles, and 6.1 miles when going south. Trail goers using wheelchair/mobility equipment or strollers may need assistance in the steeper sections or to avoid them for safety.
