Located on the Colorado River between Headgate Dam and Parker Dam, about 12 miles from the city of Parker, Buckskin Mountain State Park is 18 miles long, very picturesque, and full of wildlife. Surrounded by mountains on both sides of the Colorado River, the park offers wonderful scenic hikes with breathtaking views and a range of other activities such as volleyball, basketball, and boating.
Swimming is great along the grassy shore and the river is full of fish. Anglers can try their hand at catching large bass, smallmouth bass, catfish, and carp. There is a well-organized campground with a restaurant, a kids’ playground, a boat ramp, and a store.
