Alamo Lake

Alamo Lake State Park encompasses approximately 8,600 acres in the remote western Arizona desert, centered around the 2,900-acre Alamo Lake, a reservoir created in 1968 by the damming of the Bill Williams River. Located about 38 miles north of Wenden in La Paz County, the park offers fishing, boating, and camping in a rugged desert landscape far from major population centers. The park's isolation makes it one of the best dark sky locations in Arizona, and it has gained recognition as an excellent destination for stargazing and bird watching in the Sonoran-Mojave desert transition zone.
