Located on Lake Havasu, Cattail Cove State Park stretches over 2,000 acres near Havasu City and is a popular family outing spot all year round. The lake is 45 miles long and great fun for boaters, not to mention a delight for anglers who are hoping to catch largemouth and striped bass, flathead and channel catfish, crappie and bluegill.
There are several hiking trails that make about a mile and half together, mostly easy and relaxed.
The best time to go hiking is in March, when the wildflowers are in full bloom.
There is a beautiful sandy beach at the day use area of the park, but swimming is nice in many of the small, hidden coves around the lake.
