Picacho – Area Recreation & Activities

About 100 years ago Picacho was a gold mining town with about 100 citizens. Today, it is a remote recreation area along the Colorado River that is popular with campers, boaters, anglers and hikers. It’s also a great place for stargazing.

The park offers diverse scenery, including beavertail cactus, wild burros, bighorn sheep and thousands of migratory waterfowl.

Location-Directions

Take the 24-mile (mostly unpaved) road north from Winterhaven near the Mexican border. The road to Picacho from Winterhaven is paved only for the first 6 of 24 miles. The last 18 miles is over a dirt road that is passable for cars and vehicles with trailers and motorhomes. At times during the summer thunderstorms are likely to cause flash flooding in the washes, temporarily making short sections of the road impassable.
