Located just outside of Winslow, Arizona, McHood Park may not initially seem like much. However, with the companion reservoir, it hosts a large variety of potential activities. This area allows for picnicing, camping, canoeing or kayaking, swimming, and even some rock climbing through the canyon for the particularly adventurous.
The nearby campsite offers spots with grills, picnic tables, and nearby restrooms. The site offers 2 paved boat ramps, with a floating dock to allow for boating activities; even fishing though most of the year. Canoers and kayakers can go almost 3 miles into the canyon before the water gets too shallow to navigate.
