Explore Picacho State Recreation Area, California
Picacho State Recreation Area is located in California, USA on the lower Colorado river at the site of Picacho, a defunct gold mining town.
100 years ago Picacho was a gold mining town with 100 citizens. Today the site is a State Park, popular with boaters, hikers, anglers and campers. The park offers diverse scenery, including beavertail cactus, wild burros, bighorn sheep and thousands of migratory waterfowl. (The park is on one leg of the Pacific Flyway.) Eight miles of the lower Colorado River are the recreation area’s eastern border.
Picacho State Recreation Area is one of the 48 California state parks proposed for closure as part of a deficit reduction program. So check ahead to make sure the park is open.
