1. Emerald Canyon Golf Course
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 60 reviews

The course is awesome with lots of challenging holes...My only complaint is slow play..If you have a hard time golfing and your play is slow this is not a course for you..If you hit to the left or right and not in the fairway on this course, your ball is most likely gone..Drop another ball and hit..We had two couples playing extremely slow today and we hit the green on two tee shots on a par 4 with two twosomes waiting behind us on a blind shot, hole 7 over the mountain.. We apologized but they wanted to fight and I think there AARP card had expired and we just laughed it off..Emerald Canyon needs a Marshall to speed up the process due to SNOW BIRDS cluttering the course with slow play..The locals in Parker know this is a problem, that Emerald Canyon needs to address!!
2. Swansea Ghost Town

The drive into Swansea was interesting to say the least. The first 1/3 is paved after a fashion. The next 1/3 is a dry wash bed. The last 1/3 is not a challenge for the faint hearted! Once arriving at Swansea, walking around what was a going, jumping mining community 80 years ago, you develop an understanding of the harsh life of the miner in that era. Being near Yuma and Parker, the heat in the summer must have been horrific. There are many deep shafts or holes that have been covered with heavy fencing to prevent an accidental falling. Several buildings remain along with numerous footings of the buildings and equipment sites making up the original townsite. The day of our visit, a man had set up 'camp' to spend the night in the isolation of the Swansea with total quiet and dark skies for amazing star gazing. In today's easy life, it is difficult to imagine the extreme living conditions of the miner and there desire to chase the elusive dollar. The mine never made a profit but is an interesting trip into yesterday...
3. Parker Dam

As the tallest dam in the US and built in 1934, finished in 1938, this project shows the talent and ability of American engineering. The four turbine generators produce clean electricity used around the West. The views both up lake and down lake are magnificent. Unfortunately, the public is no longer allowed to take a tour within the dam for security reasons, a sign of the times, but certainly worth the time to view this great old structure...

This was our first jet ski rental from Wet And Wyld and our experience was excellent. Rental price was reasonable and they delivered and launched the jet ski, so everything was stress free and lots of fun. The jet ski I rented was very reliable and I was impressed with the performance. I highly recommend renting from them if you're on the Parker Strip.
