Parker is located on the east bank of the pristine Colorado River in Arizona, 163 miles west of Phoenix and 250 miles east of LA.  Created between Parker Dam, the world´s deepest dam, and Headgate Rock Dam, the Parker Strip is the finest stretch of water for recreational boating because of its ideal climate.  Parker boating is alive with boaters, water skiers, wakeboarders and personal watercraft riders.  Parker outdoor recreation also offers great opportunities for fishermen and extremely beautiful and challenging golf, all enjoying the natural beauty of this desert oasis.

The Parker Strip is one of the only communities in Arizona where waterfront property lines the entire 16 mile stretch of the Colorado River. The town site of Parker was laid out for the purpose of providing a railroad stopover, watering and shipping station.  In 1937, a highway bridge was completed across the Colorado River connecting Arizona to California.
