Review & FAQ:

Confluence Park is a 265-acre urban park and riparian oasis surrounding the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River in Denver's bustling Lower Downtown district. The park features an array of outdoor recreational facilities, including hiking and mountain biking trails, sunny and shaded picnic spots, well-stocked fishing lakes, a safe swimming area, a fitness course, and modern restrooms. The eastern side of the South Platte River is a favorite kayak run, while the western side is part of the Platte Valley Trolley route that runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend for all Denver Broncos home games.
