Confluence Park showcases a rare desert setting. Above the canyon walls the landscape is dry and wildlife is scarce, but here at the meeting of three waterways the habitat is lush and animals are plentiful. Tree-lined banks keep water cool for native fish and provide shelter birds and mammals. Grass and shrubs provide food and cover for amphibians and reptiles, while basalt cliffs house bat colonies and bird nests. The result is a rich and varied environment for inhabitants and visitors alike. Featured below are a few of the species that can be found in the park.
