8 Reasons to Visit Roper Lake State Park
Roper Lake is located near Safford, Arizona, and the Gila River. Here are 8 reasons why you really need to give it a visit.
1) Roper Lake State Park is the Home of the Gorgeous Roper Lake
Okay, so this one is sort of obvious, but we needed an excuse to show you this beautiful picture.
2) Roper Lake is a Pretty Great Spot for Fishing
They stock largemouth bass and rainbow trout, so it’s pretty likely you’ll catch something.
3) It’s a Good Place for First-Time Fishers!
And, if you’ve got a canoe, a sailboard, or a boat with a small electric motor, you can enjoy more of the lake than just the shore.
4) There are About 30 Thirty Acres of Lake Surface
You’ve got plenty of room if you’re looking for some peace and quiet.
5) They’ve Got Five Miles Worth of Hiking Trails
Why not see all the views the park has to offer? With 5 miles of hiking trails, you can take in the sights and exercise too.
6) It’s Not Just for Boating, You Can Swim Too
Definitely make use of the grills and picnic areas, too. Make a reservation if you’d like to camp there overnight.
7) You Can’t Miss the Natural Hot Springs!
The hot water that flows into this natural stone hot tub is sure to help you recover after hiking those five miles of trails.
8) Roper Lake is Only 3 Miles North of Dankworth Pond
It recently underwent a three-year renovation, and it’s a great place to bird watch or enjoy the peacefulness of nature.
