Nature & Raptor Center of Pueblo

Riverside trails, reptile displays, picnic and playground areas, and a raptor center bring people beneath the cottonwoods on the Arkansas River. The raptor program began in 1981 to assist the Department of Wildlife in rehabilitating injured birds of prey. The turnoff for Nature Center Rd is 3 miles west of downtown, north of the Pueblo Ave Bridge.
