Confluence Park
$ · Denver, Colorado
The spot where Denver was born — where Cherry Creek pours into the South Platte and the city's paved trail arteries meet. In summer it's a downtown beach: kayakers surf the engineered chute, tubers bob past, and everyone else sprawls on the grassy steps by REI to watch. Pure basecamp energy.
