Located on the Animas River, Durango Riverside Resort is a short distance away from the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the Mesa Verde National Park. The San Juan Mountains form the backdrop for the resort, and many cabins are situated directly on the banks of the alpine river. A heated outdoor swimming pool and activities such as fishing and trail biking are accessible on-site. Horseback riding and white-water rafting are among the attractions available nearby. Just 12 miles south of the resort, the town of Durango offers shopping, dining, and nightlife. These cabin accommodations are part of a resort property that includes recreational vehicle (RV) sites and offers shared amenities.
