Accessibility
The first thing visitors will notice at Rockin’ River (besides the views) is there are few facilities here compared to other state parks they may have visited. In fact, except for restrooms, the Contact Station/Gift Shop is the only building at the park that is accessible to the public. Rockin’ River is a “get out there and experience it” kind of park. With over four miles of trails and a huge stretch of Verde River shoreline accessible in the park, there are plenty of outdoor recreation options available to keep you engaged with nature during your visit.
