Basaic Says: Parker has a decent little historic district with a few buildings of historical and/or architectural interest. I especially liked the church.
Basaic Says: One thing that makes the Colorado River Indian Tribes Museum interesting is that it represents the FOUR different tribes that lived in the area; the: Navajo; Hopi; Mohave; and Chemehauvi. The museum has the world's largest collection of Chemehauvi Baskets and a number of...
Basaic Says: Next to the Chamber of Commerce/Visitors Center is Main Street Park, a small park partly dedicated to the coming of the railroad.
La Paz County Historical Museum
Basaic Says: The La Paz County Historical Museum is housed in a building temporarily donated by a local family, and has several displays depicting the history of the area including the World War 2 Japanese internment camp located nearby in Poston and the history of Indians in the area,...
Basaic Says: The Parker Chamber of Commerce is also the Visitors Center. This is a great place to pick up literature on attractions and activities in the town and the surrounding area. The lady working there when I visited was helpful and friendly.
Visit The Colorado River Indian Tribes Complex
Basaic Says: The goverment complex for the Colorado River Indian Tribes is located just a few miles off Arizona Highway 95 near Parker. They have government offices and a nice library there. They often have displays about the history of the tribes and hold special events there. The...
Basaic Says: Parker Dam was built between 1934 and 1938 and spans the Colorado River between Arizona and California 155 miles downstream from Hoover Dam. Parker Dam is the deepest dam in the world with 73 percent of its structural height of 320 feet below the original riverbed....

House Rentals: Security Real Estate
jenn_d Says: We rented a 4 bed, 3 bath house for $350 a night. The house slept 14 people and when costs were divided among that number it can make for a very affordable weekend. The house was right on the water in an area known as the Moovlaya Keys. All houses have docks that typically...
The Crossroads Cafe is a small family run restaurant just off Arizona Highway 95 in Parker. The decor is kind of homely and comfortable. I had a hard time deciding what to order because they had a number of items that sounded good. I finally ordered Catfish. They started me off with an excellent bowl of Clam Chowder with some great bread to soak up the remains. The catfish, mashed potatoes and green beans were all very good; an excellent meal. Staff was friendly too. The Crossroads Cafe gets crowded quickly so come early. They also have a nice mural on the outside wall. I love how the photos came out.
I visited here again in October 2012 and it was at least as good as before. Seeme like THE place to eat in Parker.
Favorite Dish: The Homestyle Catfish was great.

The Roadrunner is packed day and night. The drink of choice is the Road Raper which features Everclear cleverly disguised in a fruity concoction.

Almost anywhere you look, the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) Museum is listed as being colocated with the CRIT Library, which is located in the government complex. This is not correct. The museum has moved to a location in downtown Parker. The lady in the library gave me directions but they were not too good. I never found it. I am making this tip so you don't drive to the government complex looking for the museum. I will make another tip when I find and tour the museum.

Bill Williams NWR Scenic Viewpoint
Basaic Says: There are two scenic viewpoints for the Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge along Arizona Highway 95. This is the one on the west side of the road. The view is great and is worth stopping to check it out.
Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge
Basaic Says: The Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge has majestic rock cliffs and the Bill Williams River running through the Sonoran Desert. Its cattail-filled marsh harbors a wide variety of birds including several endangered species. It also has the only stand of cottonwood-willow...

Favorite thing: Parker is a town of about 3000 located along Arizona Highway 95 in Western Arizona by the California border. The town is also along the Colorado River. Parker was named after Ely Parker, and was established in 1908. Parker is the county seat of La Paz County, Arizona's youngest county, only started in 1983. The architecture for the county buildings, including the La Paz County Courthouse, had a distinct Southwestern flavor. Interesting sign on the Parker Fire Department.
Fondest memory: The food at the Crossroads Cafe and the outlying areas.
