I lived in Wenden and fished at Alamo as kid in 1978, the lake was way bigger too and great fishing even as a lil kid! Best lake all around back then.

I'm from the UK and love watching these types of videos such beautiful landscapes

Pleasant video Russ. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

Very welcome

Since I wasn't sure where this was, I looked it up on Wikipedia. The primary purpose of the dam is flood control. Recreation is a secondary purpose. Where you say that the lake is "low", that is actually the "normal" level, the remainder being reserved for flood waters. Wikipedia states that the lake, in a flooding event, rose eleven feet over one night! Would have LOVED to have been there for that!

Wild burros usually go strolling through the campsites during the night. You can get cell coverage at campsite C and D, but not at Range station Store or Campsite A and B. Some coverage on lake in certain areas.

That is a nice place for the middle of nowhere and what a beautiful sky lots of white clouds ⛅️

We went to this lake alot when i was bass fishing. It is known for large mouth bass and crappie fishing. It's nice there when everyone there is there just to fish and dont have to put up with jet skies and skiers or drag boats. Plus right now in april ,it:s spawning time for bass. So great fishing. Thanks Russ

Just by watching these videos of Russ's, I figure it'd take a whole year to see all of Arizona. In fact, you'd have to stay in each state of the American South West through all four seasons to see everything properly.

The desert is always amazing. Thanks for the tour, Russ.

Boy that is beautiful. Thank you Russ for taking us on another journey. It is absolutely gorgeous there. I also thought I would say, I am way past help, and way past HOPE....So funny, but we enjoyed.... It is in the 90s there, and we are chilly here, but soon we will be warmed up....Take care to you all...for goodness sake be careful. Walk with Justice, walk with Love and mercy, and walk with a Good spirit Russ as you do all the time. I wish you all Peace Russ...Everyone watching.....Take care from Carolyn from Canada...

Thanks for the video russ

Grand scale desert! Lake is a welcome in middle of no man's land! Heavy Duty!

Wow, this is definitely a place to visit, thanks Russ for the awesome tour!!!

Thanks for the awesome Tour Russ 👍🏼😎👍🏼

Thanks again Russ, got some snow up here in Ontario. Appreciate the trip to the desert lake

I turned in & went to Wayside. And then went rock hunting for 3 days back up into Anderson Mine country 4 years ago. But never have made it to Alamo Lake. Thank You for the trip into Alamo Lake Russ. TAKE CARE..

Thank You for the video of Alamo Lake, enjoy!! Well, if you have a chance to be near water or in it, if staying in the desert area, that's a place to go, it seems. Keep on keeping on! Thanks for the videos you share with us. Sincerely, Shay's Ways

Reminds me a little of Lake Pleasant

Always fun to sit by the boat launch and watch people try to back up

Thanks for posting these great videos..especially enjoy the drone footage

Great job on video Russ didn't know there's that much to see in dessert. Keep the videos coming.

The scenery on that road really changes from one end to the other.

👍👍 Thanks.

As all the "rivers" that feed into Alamo Lake are dry most of the year,you can bet they stock it. Been enjoying your road trips. Live in Lake Havasu now but used to live in Quartzsite. Another good one.Thanks.

We spent several years in that area and Alamo lake is on of our favorite area to camp. Many miles of trails to ride atv and utv. You should go wayside for a burger and brew.

I spent a Week here with a Trapper back in the Eighties.......lots of Eagles at this Lake.......there is a Story that old Bill Williams used a Mans Leg Bone as a Cane......

Love it Russ! Llove my YaY mug too!❤️🚙🚙

This is where the Grandparents spent their winters - no phone - no TV (1980s) had to drive to Wenden to get mail ---- it was great ! Thanks Russ

I visited in mid-80s, likely when the lake was at its minimum pool. Don't recall the RV aspect being developed, but that was many moons ago! That big alfalfa ranch "on the right" was the "edge of town" where I was treated to the biggest, tastiest most delicious steak dinner I've ever had. Courtesy of A Heck of a farming family! Great happy hour while mesquite burned down to coals AHead of dinner. JLG at the fire. Great memories along Centennial Wash and Buckeye-Salome Road.

You should really check out that Oasis Bar & Grill. They have a small dirt airstrip and several small planes fly in especially on weekends

Really appreciate the work involved in your videos.I just really enjoy then so much😊👍

in 38 miles the landscape changed a lot. beautiful scenery

We almost camped there on our way out of quartzsite exit 17. Thanks we'll camp there next year.

I stayed on the edge of the Lake there and it is beautiful! Went to take a shower at the State Park and got lost in the middle of no where for 4 hours and 59 miles as GPS failed! More to the story! Beware!

Awesome sauce Russ!

Thanks for the great tour Russ

As a teen in the mid 70s, my family went to Alamo. I don't think the lake had filled up yet.

Russ, I think you have the best RV videos on You Tube. Always informative and covers the info I want to see. They also give me a better idea of the road conditions on the places I want to visit.

Alamo was on my list of spots to visit. Had a number of friends tell about it?

Thanks for checking out the neighborhood Russ.The Alamo Dam & Overlook are spectacular. Thank goodness for rest rooms huh?.:)

Very nice! I'm really enjoying your videos.

Went there about 40 years ago AND that was the last time! Hells water hole!

I used to live in Wenden, AZ in 1978 and loved fishing at Alamo, I caught huge cats and bass! The lake level is so low now compared to 1978. Wow. Lake looks so small now.

You should get an inflatable kayak.

Beautiful lake Alamo! Thanks Russ. from lake Conroe, Texas

The desert ride was great...then to find a lake??!! Fantastic!

Out by Wickiup 17 mile loop is a dirt road but good travel for high clearance vehicles. Many sahuaro cactus.

Some beautiful country out there. Thanks for another drive.

Was hoping to see overnight parking along the lake but hook-ups are far away just like parking in a dessert campground. Good place for boaters but you have to pull your boat a long distance to get there.

14:53 - HEY! I have three dogs. Two only really bark at people (slightly protective/slightly overexcited) - The third is a vicious brute who will eat your marinated chicken and soul, and barks at anything near "dad" And, if you look to the left, you can see this 5 lb beast!

Great video's! Watching them is like a vacation from the other side of the world.

Thx for the Scenic Tour. The 2 rivers that feed the Lake seemed to come out of nowhere

Thanks for the tour. Enjoyed the ride. Be safe!

best way to learn how to launch a boat is go somewhere on the weekdays when nobody is around and practice it a few times. Last practice, you get to learn how to come back to the dock/rap and how all that works. But do it alone, so when you goof up, you learn instead of deal with irate others trying to do the same darn thing you are doing. Then you can master that skill and do it right and efficiently whne people (UGH!) show up.

What a pretty area! ASA the Misses and I get mobile, this'll will be on my list of places to visit.

Great video thank you

Thanks for another fun trip. January 2025 or bust!!!

👍👍😊

Next trip take the gravel road to Wayside.

Cell phone service at Alamo Lake SP is rough. Be prepared for it if you go there.

DOOD!

If you check this lake out on google earth, you can see it's about half size it used to be. Another sign of the drought in the West.

What's with the disappearing truck with boat at 3:00

Haven't been there this year rates seem a little bit high

Do they allow swimming?

What is the general elevation there?
