About the upper babocomari river
The Upper Babocomari River flows through southeastern Arizona, originating in the San Rafael Valley and running for approximately 50 miles before converging with the San Pedro River. Historically, the river was used by indigenous tribes for agriculture and hunting. Today, the river is primarily used for irrigation of agricultural lands, with several dams and reservoirs, including the Parker Canyon Lake, which provides water for the surrounding towns. The river's hydrology is influenced by the monsoon season, with increased flow during the summer months. Recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and camping are popular along the river, with several established campgrounds and trails in the area.
