The Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge is found at the far reaches of southeastern Lake Havasu. Rumored to contain the largest surviving cottonwood-willow woodlands of the lower Colorado River, the Refuge covers 6,000 acres. Perhaps most importantly, the Bill Williams River serves as a comfortable refuge to over 300 species of birds and waterfowl. There are a number of endangered species currently in propagation, including the razorback sucker fish and bony-tail chubs, which are indigenous to the Bill Williams River. Additionally, the Audubon Society named the Refuge an area of global significance in 2011.

The Crack in the Mountain Trail winds through a stunning slot canyon along the Lower Colorado River, offering breathtaking desert scenery. This 4.7-mile moderate hike involves some climbing and culminates at a serene lakeside cove near the iconic Balance Rock. Keep an eye out for Bighorn Sheep along the way, they’re frequent visitors to the area. Locals affectionately call this trail 'SARA's Crack,' given its striking geological formation and Sara Park is where the adventure begins.
