Willow Beach is on the Colorado River south of Hoover/Boulder Dam. This was the very first place I ever went trout fishing. I caught the most fish that day and consequently I have never fished on the river again. Imagine that!
Many years ago, before the dams were built, the Colorado river flowed freely & there were several steamers that were on the river coming from Yuma to ports north.
Here is an article about the river & the steamboats HERE.
"Vanished Arizona" was written by Martha Summerhayes and describes riding the boats up this river and her encounters in Arizona and can be found HERE.
