About Animas River

Colorado's only Gold Medal freestone river. A 7-mile designated stretch runs right through downtown Durango — from Lightner Creek to Purple Cliffs. Big San Juan snowmelt drainage means heavy spring runoff, but summer and fall fish well. Brown and rainbow trout, strong caddis and PMD hatches.
