Five Mile Landing Day Use Area

Five Mile Landing is a small and quiet day use area overlooking Goose Lake within the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge.

The area was once a campground, but currently is limited to day use only. Lying down a graded dirt road just north of the town of Topock, the area has parking for several passenger cars, a boat launch ramp, a few interpretive signs, and walking access into the wildlife refuge area.

There is a small boat launch which offers access to Goose Lake and to the marshlands of the wildlife refuge. Fishing is popular here, though there are a good amount of snags near the shallows that boaters and paddlers should be weary of.

As the refuge lies along the Pacific Flyway, there are also a large number of migratory birds that can be viewed in the area.

As the camping area has been left for wildlife restoration, so have the walking paths around the landing area, so visitors can set off on foot into the refuge from here, however there are no paved or worn paths remaining.

There is no fee to visit Five Mile Landing. The area is open for day use only.
