Mittry Lake

Between Christmas and New Years, I spent a couple of days at Mittry Lake, about 10 miles north-east of Yuma, Arizona. This is run by BLM and Arizona department of fish and wildlife. Camping is free, with a limit of ten days per calendar year. The road is dirt, with dirt spots by the lake for parking/camping, and more up a hill by a wide spot on a canal. Verizon signal was ok, no usable TV reception. There is a paved boat launch with picnic tables and dumpsters, and a paved lot with a couple of vault toilets. A series of jetties go into the lake, one of which has a paved path for people on wheelchairs. Ducks are common on the lake. Motorboats are used by fishermen on the lake, and the road is quite busy for a dirt one.
