Reviews of Colorado River State Historic Park
"I had the pleasure of playing violin here for a wedding and I must say, it is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL here. The open space for the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner hour and reception was perfect. The sky is so big over this venue and it is the perfect outdoor venue for any type of wedding."
"I visited on a beautiful, cool Spring morning. I came specifically to see this nationally historic crossing of the Colorado River and stayed at the quite nice Hilton Garden Inn with a pretty view of the river. In a 1/2 mile landscaped walk abounding with native trees and birds lies the Territorial Prison ruin, three bridges (two are historic), restored wetlands, the foundation of the pivot bridge from the steamboat days before 1909, the Yuma irrigation canal & siphon, and the US Quartermaster depot with the Arizona State Museum. The Quechan people continue to live, as they have for thousands of years on their lands across the river from the park. They shared in the development of the $40 million park."
"Very disappointed about this place. We showed up at 4:05pm after driving in from Phoenix and right away the women greeted us and informed us that while the place does in fact close at 5 that by 4:30 they start cleaning and shutting the museum down. No offer for a discount price; and why is the place open until 5 if they start closing it down at 4:30. Shouldn't it close at 5 as indicated then the employees do their cleaning as needed. I was really interested in learning about the Colorado River and won't find myself in Yuma again anytime soon, especially as I live in Montana. A state ran facility can and should do a better job."
"We found this by accident walking the gateway path and it was a great surprise! We paid $10 to get in and learned all about the quartermaster who lived there and how they created the Siphon. I highly recommend checking this out if you are in the area!"
"Great place for picnics .. sun bathing .. river water activities .. you can spend an afternoon here .. or while your stay at the hotel .. perhaps taking a walk until your car finish charging"
