Growing up in Parker, I visited this area many times. It is always a great Arizona adventure. You can get to the refuge by traveling north out of Parker. Just past the Parker Dam you will see the road east to the Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge.In
The Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge was established over 60 years ago, making it one of the first along the river. Since the 90’s, the refuge has been managed and maintained by six state and federal agencies. It is an excellent resource for riparian, wildlife and fisheries.
There are few places in the world where you can see such a diverse assortment of plants and animals. It is possible to st and in one spot and see a saguaro cactus, a cattail and and a cottonwood tree. You will be amazed at the variety.
This unique blend of upl and desert, marsh and desert riparian habitats provide numerous birds, mammals and reptiles. Bill Williams Wildlife Refuge is a destination spot you won and #146;t want to miss.
