Amazing! My brother has been telling me for years about this spot up in the mountains and we finally went. First the park area is amazing; there's an open field for Fido to play in, a baseball field, playground, couple of bbq pits, bathrooms, volleyball court, picnic areas, and rv parking. And to top all that off the river runs all the way around the park for a good half mile. People were dropping in their inner tubes and riding the river to the other side of the park and then walking across the park to do it again. If you don't want to tube then there's a little swimming area and a deep enough place to jump off the rocks. The only downside is it is June and the water is still cold; my brother said he came in August and the water was a lot warmer. I plan on making this trip again it was a lot of fun. How to get there: Take I-36 west (go thru Boulder) to I-60W, in Lyons the road will fork (right fork to Estes Park) go left, just after the light there will be a dirt road on the right, take the right and you're there. Parking is 5 dollars or you can try to find a spot on the street and walk. Best tube drop in point is to the right after the baseball fields. Have fun! And remember don't stand in the river; swim to the sides.
