Arizona State Parks

An award-winning artist residency program returns to Patagonia Lake State Park this fall, featuring Flagstaff artist Cory Woodall and Bisbee artist Fernando Serrano. The Arizona State Parks Artist Residency Program, in partnership with the Arizona Commission on the Arts and Arizona Community Foundation, invites artists to create work inspired by Arizona’s landscapes and heritage.

Families eager to discover the fun and benefits of outdoor recreation will soon have access to even more camping equipment through the Arizona Family Campout Program, thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family (GOYFF).

Not yet, but soon! Fall colors paint the leaves in Arizona’s state parks later in the year, but when it happens, it’s a big show! These top Arizona state parks are prime destinations for fall colors, along with great trails, picnic spots, and family fun.
