Things to Do Near Parker Dam

Thousands of people visit Parker, Arizona, every year because it’s simply stunning. Situated near beautiful Lake Havasu, Parker means direct access to miles of shoreline, the lake itself, and lots of amazing activities in the city. What should you plan to do while you’re here? Take a look at this list.

Stop By the Casino

BlueWater Casino is the leading space for gaming on the Colorado River, and here you’ll find a number of different table games, slot machines, and more. Grab a bite at the Riverwalk Deli as you play or plan a meal at the BlueWater Grille. You can even access the beach or use the marina! It’s a great stop on your trip to Parker.

See a Ghost Town

The Swansea Ghost Town is close to Parker Dam, and it makes a great trip for a day. It’s a good space to learn a bit more about the history of the area, and you can even rent ATVs to tour near the town. It existed for just five years before it disappeared, and this former mining site looks like a mystery out of a book. It’s certainly worth a closer look for history buffs!

Get a Closer Look at the Parker Dam

While you can’t walk around the dam, you can get a much closer look at this beautiful structure and its surrounding area. The deepest dam in the country, it’s nothing short of an engineering marvel, and a hike closer to the structure will give you beautiful views of the river and mountains, as well as a closer look at the wildlife in the area like wild donkeys.

Consider a Stay at Black Meadow Landing

While you’re here, you may want to think about a stay at Black Meadow Landing. A beautiful RV park that sits right on Lake Havasu, it features a launch ramp and a marine, but it’s so much more than that. You’ll find a cute, small town diner inside that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, an on-site market with fuel available, and even a five-hole golf course. The landing features a number of other amenities like parks and gardens where you can see native wildlife, picnic sites, and laundry facilities.
