Journey off the beaten path and explore Alamo Lake State Park. This small state park in Arizona spans 4,900 acres, and though that may sound like a lot, it’s pretty small in comparison to the other natural areas in The Grand Canyon State. But what Alamo Lake State Park lacks in surface area, it makes up for in beauty. Immerse yourself in stunning nature and bask in the beauty of these sunsets. Alamo Lake State Park is an Arizona hidden gem that’s worth exploring.

If you really want to get away from it all, plan a trip to Alamo Lake State Park.

Because it's so remote, we recommend making a weekend adventure out of it.
