History
Opened in November 1969, Alamo Lake State Park originated as a plan to dam the Bill Williams River from flooding into the Lower Colorado River.
Reservoir Use
Go fishing or boating on Alamo Lake. Use the park's boat launch ramp and the privately owned general store for supplies and bait.
Stargazing
Attend the annual Night Under The Stars astronomy event at Alamo Lake, which is located 38 miles north of Wenden.
Camping and RV
Pay campground and vehicle fees for overnight stays. Use handicap accessible showers and restroom facilities.

Watch for bald eagles and American peregrine falcons in the sky, and mule deer or wild burros ranging the wetlands.
Considerations
Camp in designated areas and start campfires only in park fire rings. Pack out all trash and keep dogs on leashes.
