Kershaw–Ryan State Park

Located within Rainbow Canyon, this park contains natural springs that support white oaks, fruit trees, and wild grapevines along 700-foot canyon walls.

Samuel and Hannah Kershaw established the area in 1873, creating an orchard and developing the land before its designation as a state park in 1935.

The park hosts seasonal community gatherings, including autumn festivals and winter celebrations that bring together local residents and visitors throughout the year.

The park maintains 16 camping sites with shade structures and picnic tables, plus four tent-only locations with access to restrooms and coin-operated showers.

A spring-fed wading pool within the park provides seasonal water activities from May through September, surrounded by desert landscape and mountain vistas.
