Crossroads OHV Area

Crossroads OHV Area is a 1,500-acre BLM day-use riding area on the eastern edge of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, managed by the Lake Havasu Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management. The area provides immediate access to desert off-road terrain from the edge of one of western Arizona's fastest-growing communities, making it a favorite for local Lake Havasu riders who can reach the staging area without trailering. Terrain is characteristic of the Lower Colorado Desert: sandy washes, desert shrubland, short rocky climbs over rhyolite and basalt outcrops, and expansive views of the surrounding ranges and the Colorado River corridor. Motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and other OHVs are all welcome; no entrance fee or permit is required. The developed staging area includes paved parking, an unloading ramp, and vault toilet facilities. The area connects informally to the broader Lake Havasu Travel Management Trail System to the north, extending the rideable territory substantially beyond the 1,500-acre core for those with navigational capability. Open year-round; fall through spring offers the most comfortable riding temperatures. The surrounding desert supports a healthy population of desert tortoise, riders are advised to yield and avoid contact. Managed by the BLM Lake Havasu Field Office (928-505-1200).
