Nearly 100 miles of navigable waterways on the Colorado River - between the Palo Verde Diversion Dam (above Blythe) & the Imperial Dam below Yuma, AZ. City services, fast food, gas stop. Blythe California is an ideal location for outdoor recreation in winter time - hike, bike, kayak, wheelin dirt back roads. Summers can get super hot, but the rest of the year is prime for visiting.
