Parker sits right on the Colorado River, at the start of the Parker Strip, one of the most popular summer boating spots in the Southwest. Beaches, river bars and steep desert mountains line the water, and Lake Havasu is less than an hour north.
Your boat or Sea-Doo is ready at the river, so you can skip the ramp and get right to the fun.
Where to boat near Parker
- The Parker Strip. The river between Parker Dam and Headgate Dam, lined with beaches and resorts.
- Lake Havasu. About 45 minutes north, with sandy coves and the London Bridge.
- More of the Colorado River. From Laughlin and Topock Gorge to Blythe and Yuma.
What to rent
Our MasterCraft wake boats seat 12 to 18 people, and our Sea-Doo jet skis (what many people call WaveRunners) seat up to three. Everything is ready at the lake, so you can skip the trailer and the boat ramp.
Tips for your lake day
- Watch the river level. Dam releases raise and lower the river. Leave room when you beach the boat.
- Holiday weekends are busy. Book early for summer holidays, and go early in the day.
- Life jackets. We provide them for everyone. Kids 12 and under must wear one on the water.
