The Trail is Core to Our Community
The Uncompahgre River Way is a nature trail that offers accessible opportunities for physical activity, mental restoration, and environmental learning; by bringing people into direct contact with native plants, wildlife, and seasonal changes, it fosters stewardship, builds community, and supports biodiversity while providing a low-cost, inclusive space for recreation, education, and quiet reflection.
Recreation
Biking, walking, and fishing along the river are safe, accessible ways for people of all ages to connect with nature and the community. This trail provides safe access for bikers to access the RAT trai as well as fishing access points make it easy for anglers to enjoy the water responsibly. Together, these features support healthy outdoor recreation and help preserve the river corridor for future generations.
Wildlife
Open space and wildlife are essential components of a healthy landscape, providing habitat for native species, corridors for migration, and natural processes that support clean air and water. Protecting and restoring open areas preserves biodiversity, supports pollinators and prey species, and offers people opportunities for recreation, education, and quiet reflection. Thoughtful land management balances human use with conservation goals, ensuring that wildlife populations and their habitats remain resilient in the face of development and climate change.
