We have some of the best bird watching in Pagosa Springs! Right outside RiverWalk Inn is the paved Riverwalk trail that follows the San Juan river through downtown.
This Pagosa Springs area is a great place to see lots of birds including American Dippers as they dip, swim and chirp at the river's edge, or see Kingfishers seeking out their next meal. We also see Lewis's Woodpeckers, and lots of waterfowl frequent our ponds in our backyard. So if you're looking for a good place to go birding, come stay with us at RiverWalk Inn and venture out into the wild to see lots of our feathered friends.
The San Juan Riverwalk is a birding hotspot! Interested in learning more? Check out our local Audubon Chapter at: WeminucheAudubon.org
