Welcome
to Parker, Arizona
Town/City Overview
Sporting some 500,000 visitors during the warmer climate months of
March to September, the Tourism of the area continues to rise,
despite declining numbers in other regions. In addition, the new
PWC, (personal watercraft), restrictions have made the area even
more popular. However, there is much more to do along the river
than just getting a sun tan.
Adjusting to the warmer season. Golfers still enjoy the use of
Emerald Canyon Golf Course, which is rated as one of Arizona’s
“best”. The course offers a spectacular view of the river from most
tees and fairways and is open at 5 a.m. each day. If
water sports is your choice, the Parker Area offers just about
anything anyone’s heart could desire. The Parker Area Chamber of
Commerce and Tourism Committee report that there are 21 waterfront
Resorts and two Lake Havasu properties within their membership. At
the south end of Lake Havasu, Black Meadow Landing and Havasu
Springs Resort offer the tranquility of 27 miles of great boating. If
amenities and gaming are your preference, the new BlueWater Resort
and Casino offer 164 boat slip marina, over 300 slots, bingo, 200
view rooms, three restaurants and a amphitheater that features a top
line up of outdoor concerts.
Six riverfront restaurants and outdoor lounges stretch along the
scenic waterways where boaters may just pull up to convenient water
parking and enjoy their favorite food and beverages.
For the sightseer, nothing beats the view from the top of Parker
Dam, the worlds deepest. For the more adventurous, a walk through
Buckskin Mountain State Park walking trails or their native plant
species area is sure to please. If
you’re really an early riser, the sunrises are unsurpassed and the
there are hundreds of miles of Mountain and Road Cycling areas to
explore.
