Oxbow Park Access is a whitewater access point on the Animas River near Durango in La Plata County, Colorado. This location serves as a launch point for paddlers looking to run whitewater sections of the Animas, a popular river for kayaking and rafting in the region. The access point provides entry to one of Colorado's most well-known whitewater rivers, which features varying difficulty levels depending on water flows and which section is being paddled. Paddlers should be aware of current conditions and water levels before launching, as the Animas can experience significant changes with seasonal snowmelt and monsoon activity.
