Lake Patagonia and Parker Canyon Lake provide facilities for fishing, boating, camping and picnicking. Patagonia's five art galleries feature many local artists. The Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Sanctuary features 300 species of birds. Santa Cruz County has many National Register sites, two from the Spanish colonial period: Tumacacori National Monument and Tubac Presidio, a State Historic Park. Another National Register site is the 1885 Old Tubac Schoolhouse. Other nearby historic sites are Calabasas, an Indian village, and Guevavi Mission Ruins, the center of Jesuit mission activities in Arizona. Within 20 miles are numerous ghost towns.
