Dead Horse Ranch State Park, Arizona

Once you look past the name (and the slightly creepy history) Dead Horse Ranch State Park is home to unbelievable views and a mountain of activities for outdoor lovers of all ages! Hitch a horse up for Horse Trail Adventures inside the park; with the cool equestrian trails available, you and your four-hoofed-friend can explore the desert together! Talk about bonding. Hang by the Verde River for some fishing, boating, and swimming or get to the forest for quality hiking and biking. Explore the day, extend the trip by camping out; there’s no wrong way to experience this park!
