Black Canyon Heritage Park provides riparian, birding, butterfly and other environmental experiences in a family friendly, nurturing setting.
Come visit our park; it is a great Preserve in Black Canyon City (Arizona). Come take a short a peaceful accessible walk or just site to view the park's significant natural resources, birds, butterflies and interpretative signage. We are protecting and preserving a significant natural riparian resource and environmental education experiences. We are also a major birding and butterfly destination.
