Abutting Cattail Cove, where the Bill Williams River meets Lake Havasu, is this calm wildlife refuge, which helps protect the unique transition zone between Mohave and Sonoran desert ecosystems. On a finger of land pointing into the lake, there's a 1.4-mile interpretive trail through a botanic garden of native flora, with shaded benches and access to fishing platforms.
Endangered birds like to roost in the largest cottonwood/willow grove along the entire length of the Colorado River. Entrance is between mile markers 161 and 162.
