This state park scenically located between the Buckskin Mountains and the Colorado River attracts both nature lovers and water enthusiasts. Hikers are enticed to explore the area via three developed trails that ascend steep bluffs to panoramic overlooks. The river draws pleasure boaters, water skiers, and swimmers to this 400-foot-elevation recreation area. Anglers vie for largemouth bass, crappie, channel catfish, and bluegill. Buckskin Mountain State Park and its associated River Island Unit are approximately 11 miles north of Parker off State Route 95.

• Hike the steep bluffs that reward you with panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.
