We have at Martinez Lake a very large variety of birds year round.  They enjoy natural habitat and can be viewed from boats on the Colorado River as well as the many side lakes and pot holes along the river.  We are adjacent to the Imperial Wildlife Refuge which is located on both sides of the river for a 35 mile stretch with no structures other than a few ranger cabins at Picacho State Park.

Available to small groups are motel facilities, restaurant, marina and boat rentals.  The boats available include canoes, kayaks, 14' aluminum boats with motors, and pontoon boats with capacities of up to 10 people.  A fishing guide is available to take groups of up to five people fishing, bird watching, and river familiarization so that you can do it yourself the next time.

The fall, winter and spring seasons of the year feature most birds because of the annual migration.  There are, however, many permanent residents that are easily observed.  To customize your trip to the river, call us at 1-800-876-7004 or click here to e-mail us.
