Cross Roads OHV - California
Cross Roads OHV Area is one of two open area recreation facilities on the California side of the Colorado River on the Parker Strip. It is located just south of Lake Havasu near Parker Dam.
This recreation park is funded and policed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The facilities are paid for and maintained with grant funds from California Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation. All you need to do is maintain your current registration of your off-highway vehicle and you can have FREE access to Cross Roads OHV!
This is a 1500 acre “open” area where OHV use is limited to designated routes. You have access to miles and miles of trails through the bajada and sand washes.
The best and most desirable seasons to utilize this FREE Cross Roads OHV are Fall to Spring. Due to changing road and trail conditions, as a result of harsh weather, it is recommended you contact the BLM for current road conditions.
As you can see, this is a great wide open area to ride in. Beautiful views, great terrain, and best of all there are bathrooms and a PAVED staging area with ample parking for your truck and trailer.
