Riverside Meadows is private and secluded. Relax by the river at the picnic and fire pit area or go for a dip in the hot tub surrounded by flower gardens. Throw in a line - we are steps from the longest stretch of "Gold Medal" fishing waters in the state of Colorado, a whopping 17 miles! We also have inflatable kayaks available for our guests at no additional charge. If available, we are happy to take you upriver to float back here or float from here and pick you up down the river. We are also just minutes away from all the amenities and activities of South Fork, Colorado, so never fear - we have something for everyone!

With a location at the confluence of the South Fork and Rio Grande rivers, the town of South Fork is a basecamp for Colorado adventures, including fishing, skiing, hiking, ATVing, road biking, snowmobiling and much more.

This mountain community is tucked at the San Luis Valley’s southwest edge and remains one of our state’s unspoiled hidden gems. South Fork is the perfect jumping-off point for hiking, biking and backpacking in Colorado’s largest wilderness area: the Weminuche Wilderness.

Winter brings the "Most Snow in Colorado" to nearby Wolf Creek Ski Area. Snowmobilers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers will find endless miles of trails, plus ice fishing, sledding and ice skating. Summer and spring offer a multitude of outdoor activities, events, sightseeing, history, culture and relaxation. And in fall, the area explodes with color as the dark-green forest becomes splashed with shades of yellow, red and orange.

Rio Grande, Spanish Río Grande del Norte, or (in Mexico) Río Bravo, or Río Bravo del Norte, fifth longest river of North America, and the 20th longest in the world, flows through the state of New Mexico then forming the border between the U.S. state of Texas and Mexico. Rising as a clear, snow-fed mountain stream more than 12,000 feet above sea level in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the Rio Grande descends across steppes and deserts, watering rich agricultural regions as it flows on its way to the Gulf of Mexico at Brownsville, Texas. The total length of the river is about 1,900 miles.
