Parker Strip Recreation Area

Back country byways traverse scenic corridors that are off the beaten path in the Parker Strip Recreation Area. The Parker Dam Road "Thread of Life" highlights the scenic, natural, historic and prehistoric values along an 11 mile (18 km) road that travels along the California shore of the Colorado River. This area has attracted people, wildlife and vegetation along a linear oasis, creating the Thread of Life. The byway provides an abundance of recreation activities including camping, swimming, boating, fishing, rock hounding, hiking, OHV play areas and wildlife viewing.
