Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood, AZ offers a range of outdoor activities and amenities, including camping cabins, RV and tent camping, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing. Visitors can enjoy the comforts of the indoors in one of their eight river-adjacent log camping cabins, or explore the picturesque hiking trails that lead out to Coconino National Forest.
The park's name has an interesting history, originating from the Ireys family who discovered a large dead horse on one of the ranches they were considering buying. When Arizona State Parks acquired the park in 1973, the Ireys family insisted on retaining the name Dead Horse Ranch, which has become a unique part of its identity.
