Cottonwood Park is an eight-acre facility in Parachute offering smooth water access to the Colorado River for rafting, canoeing, and kayaking suitable for families, with a boat ramp and recreational fishing available at a nearby stocked pond on Colorado State Department of Fish and Wildlife property.

The park serves as a launch point for calm river rides downstream to the Una Bridge or De Beque, making it ideal for paddlers of all skill levels seeking a leisurely float.
