Cordova Park is an 1100 acre area situated on bluffs overlooking Lake Red Rock. The name Cordova is derived from the small town that occupied this location from 1887-1962. The park has seven modern cabins available for rent year round, all with a great view of Lake Red Rock. For a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area, climb the 169 steps to the top of the park’s 106’ observation tower, the tower does not currently charge for use but donations are accepted. On a clear day, landmarks 35 miles away may be viewed with the naked eye. Home to abundant wildlife, modern cabins and the observation tower; Cordova Park is considered a year round travel destination.
