San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area, National conservation area in Cochise County, Arizona.
The San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area extends across 57,000 acres, containing 40 miles of the San Pedro River through desert terrain.
Archaeological findings within the conservation area reveal evidence of human settlements dating back 13,000 years in the upper San Pedro River valley.
The preserved Spanish Presidio Santa Cruz de Terrenate stands as a testament to Spanish colonial expansion with its stone foundation and adobe wall remains.

The conservation area protects a desert riparian system that supports 84 mammal species, 14 fish species, and 350 bird species throughout the year.
