Roper Lake State Park
Fall in love at this small state park that's big on privacy.
Imagine cowboys riding horseback and corralling cattle at this state park 5 miles south of Safford. This lake is just 32 acres, but it's prime real estate for getting away from it all. The surrounding desert hillsides offer places to explore and view the lake from above.
Dankworth Pond offers a unique way to relax after an active day on this former ranch. Check out the natural stone hot tub. The circular stone allows for several people to sit in the tub at once. Quiet afternoons or evenings offer a romantic setting.
Use the campgrounds at this lake as a base of operations for further exploring. Put in your small boat to catch bass or trout. Hike from here to Mount Graham off in the distance for high adventure among the Sky Islands. Guided bird hikes put you up close to native desert birds.
Choose from 45 RV site
