Arizona Game and Fish will have contractors onsite operating loud machinery on our northwest boundary on and near Fool Hollow Dam. Please expect loud noises and avoid the area. This project is expected to last the duration of November and into December.

 

The dump station and fish cleaning stations are closed for the season; they will reopen in April.

 

Attention boaters: Due to low water levels, both boat launch ramps are closed. Vessels that can be launched by hand are permitted to use the ramps.

 

The park entrance gate opens at 5 a.m. and closes at 8:00 p.m. Campers with current reservations coming after hours will need to enter the gate code on the PIN pad to gain access. The gate code is included with reservation confirmation.
