Narrow River Park Reopens April 1st, 2025

This is not a joke: Narrows reopens for the season on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025.

Updated: Friday April 4th, 2025

Please read these important updates and we can't wait to see you soon:

⌚ April Hours: Sunrise to sunset

🌱 Please stay on paved areas as much as possible to allow grass to regrow. Most of the grass throughout the park was killed off during last year's flood and needs extra time to regrow. Thank you!

✅ The boat ramp and dock are open.

🚧 Some areas may be closed to public use for short periods throughout the month. For everyone's safety, we ask that visitors do not cross any barriers or road closed signs.

🎂 Planning a riverside graduation party, family reunion, or birthday bash? Reserve the Cottonwood (for groups of 30 or less) or the Overlook Shelter (for groups of 100 or less) today.
