Cottonwood Hollow Natural Area
This natural area along the Cache la Poudre River provides wet meadow habitat, which is uncommon in the area and draws a variety of animals. The area contains a few ponds and marshes that can attract ducks, rails, Northern Harrier, and other wetland-loving birds. Other wetland creatures also call this area home, such as Muskrats and Painted Turtles. Please note dogs are not allowed on this property.
