Buckskin Mountain State Park commands one of the finest views along the Parker strip, an 18-mile stretch between Parker Dam and Headgate Dam. Mountains line the river on both the Arizona and California sides, and the wildlife is as varied as the recreational opportunities along the river.

The park has a campground, cabana sites, a beach, hiking trails, restrooms, showers, a boat ramp, picnic area, basketball and volleyball courts, and a playground.

In the summer, the park is a popular location for camping, boating, jet skiing, and swimming. In the winter, visitors appreciate the mild climate and enjoy camping, canoeing, fishing, and hiking. Buckskin Mountain State Park is a year-round destination.

Thank you for visiting!

The ranger station/park store carries fishing and camping items like boating supplies (life jackets, boat cushions, ropes, and anchors), and firewood. There are also great park-specific items like shirts, hats, patches, walking sticks, pins, books, and more.

Many visitors take advantage of the park’s terrific network of hiking trails.

Abandoned Mine Trail: A non-looping trail that breaks off from the Interruption Point Trail, traveling to a series of abandoned mines. Round-trip is less than 1 mile.

Buckskin Trail: From the Lightning Bolt trail, visitors can access this 1-mile loop.

Interruption Point Trail: A 1-mile round trip trek to a scenic overlook. A concrete pedestrian footbridge crosses Highway 95 and leads to two other one-way trails.

Lightning Bolt Trail: Starting at the park entrance is the steep and winding 0.5-mile round-trip that offers a wonderful view of the campground and the Colorado River.

Sport fish for large and smallmouth bass or bottomfish for catfish and carp. Kids enjoy fishing for bluegill, sunfish, and crappie. A valid Arizona fishing license is required for anglers 10 and older.
