There are plenty of things to do outdoors while at this state park. One option to consider is hiking through the grounds. You’ll find most of the trails wind around the nearby mountains and Colorado River, providing you with incredible views. A popular trail to try out is the Market Trail, which will give you panoramic views of the Colorado River and take you by an old mine. There’s also the Lightning Bolt Trail which runs about half a mile and is bordered by wildflowers and desert vegetation. You could also trek down the Lamb Springs Trail which will take you deep into the Arizonian backcountry and showcases old mines. In addition to these, there’s also a trail that connects this state park to nearby River Island State Park. Another outdoor activity to try out while in this beautiful state park is wildlife watching. After collecting some binoculars or a camera, head out on to explore the grounds, watch migrations, and see if you are able to catch a glimpse of bobcats, coyotes, snakes, and desert lizards. The park is also ideal for birdwatching as it’s home to numerous desert birds like great horned owls, egrets, and turkey vultures. Buckskin Mountain State Park is also popular for water activities. Thanks to its location next to the Colorado River, guests can go boating, fishing, or swimming. There is a boat ramp available, as well as a specially designated swimming area. However, keep in mind there is no lifeguard on duty. If you want to go fishing, you’ll find plenty of fish in the river which ranges from bass to catfish.
