Our Mission:
To enlist the support of people & government in saving Picacho State Recreation Area from closure; thereby, preserving the land, wildlife , & history of the park for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Picacho State Recreation Area lies on 9 miles of the pristine Colorado River. Along with its backwater lakes, the park provides a haven for fish, wildlife, and waterfowl. With 54 campsites, 3 boat launches, and 4 boat-in camps, Picacho SRA provides diverse recreational opportunities for campers, hunters, boaters, hikers, and naturalists.
Over 100 years ago, Picacho started as a mining town. In 1961, it was established as a State Park. Today, it is facing difficulties due to ongoing budget cuts in our State Park System. If Picacho is to remain open, we must all get involved and offer our support. Friends4Picacho was started in 2012 in response to the threat of closure. We have evolved as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) offering volunteer and financial support to Picacho SRA. Please join us!
Do your part: Become a supporter. Volunteer. Spread the word to your family and friends.
It's OUR park, let's join together to support Picacho SRA.
