Picacho State Recreation Area, State recreation area along Colorado River, Imperial County, US.
Located across a 9-mile stretch of the lower Colorado River, Picacho State Recreation Area includes 54 campsites, 3 boat launches, and 5 river camps.
During the early 1900s, the site hosted a gold mining settlement with a stamp mill that processed ore from nearby mining operations.
The area serves as a significant observation point for migratory waterfowl, including thousands of ducks, geese, ibis, and cormorants during spring and fall.
Visitors can access multiple camping facilities, boat ramps, picnic areas with ramadas, and shower-equipped restrooms throughout the recreation area.
The protected land houses diverse fish species including Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass, Catfish varieties, and multiple Sunfish species in its 8-foot-deep waters.
