Havasu National Wildlife Refuge Active and Adventure Highlights

By Travel Expert: Bill Weir
  • If you're lucky, you may spot bighorn sheep on the steep slopes. You’re likely to see mud nests of swallows on the cliffs as well as herons, geese, ducks, long-billed prospectors, and red-winged blackbirds.
  • Topock Gorge is a superb day trip for canoeists, kayakers, and rafters, taking about seven hours for the 17 river miles. Swift currents of the Colorado River speed you along without rapids or serious turbulence.
  • Thirty-two percent of the refuge, 17,606 acres, is designated wilderness, which presents a special opportunity for the prepared hiker. The first rule is to bring plenty of water, as this is a desert environment.
  • The refuge's website has brochures, regulations, bird and plant lists, and maps. Or you can contact the office in Needles, California.
