If you’re having a great time here, don’t forget to visit one of the three nearby state parks!
Buckskin Mountain State Park (1.3 miles) Mountains line the river on both the Arizona and California sides, and the wildlife is as varied as the recreational opportunities along the river. This picturesque park provides a scenic respite and a fun-filled escape from the desert heat. (928) 667-3231
Cattail Cove State Park (13 miles) A quiet spot for river campers, this park offers a white sand beach, 32 primitive boat-in campsites, a boat launch area, with more park development on the horizon! The park has a trail for hiking and access to off-highway vehicle back-country roads. (928) 855-1223
Lake Havasu State Park (28 miles) The scenic shoreline of Lake Havasu State Park is an ideal place to enjoy beautiful beaches, nature trails, boat ramps, and convenient campsites. This spot is truly a watersport haven located near the famous London Bridge of Lake Havasu City. (928) 855-2784
Wedge Hill Trail (Brown Trail): 1.0-mile round-trip with several spectacular lookouts of the Colorado River.
Buckskin Trail (Yellow Trail): 6.8-mile round-trip that includes three abandoned mine shafts. Two of the abandoned mine shafts are found approximately 1 mile from the trailhead.
PLEASE NOTE: Mountain bikes are permitted on the Buckskin Trail east of the Desert Bar 4x4 road.
Three boat ramp lanes are located in a calm cove. Launch ramp parking has 20 boat-length deep spaces.
NOTE: There is an island reef located in the center of the cove. Boaters should stay close to the cliffs to access the main river channel. Please observe all navigational aides and buoys.
Mammals that may be seen at the park include bobcats, ringtail cats, coyotes, and gray foxes.
Reptiles in the park include coachwhips (red racers), king snakes, desert iguanas, and collared lizards.
Birds include red-tailed hawks, vermilion flycatchers, great horned owls, burrowing owls, turkey vultures, and egrets.
Sport fish for large and smallmouth bass or bottomfish for catfish and carp. Kids enjoy fishing for bluegill, sunfish, and crappie. A valid Arizona fishing license is required for anglers 10 and older.
