The park is situated in a colorful, scenic canyon at the northern limit of Rainbow Canyon where steep canyon walls tower over a long, narrow valley. A spring-fed pond provides contrast to the rugged landscape. Park facilities include day use picnic sites, group use areas, restrooms, and trails to scenic overlooks and other backcountry locations. Kershaw-Ryan State Park is located two miles south of Caliente via Hwy 93 and Route 317.
