What travelers say:

Lots of offers in the small area centered on the Colorado River for the former ferry and river boat landing (hence the name " Yuma Crossing"). It is not only a scenic spot, but a lot of different historical sites. I suggest starting with the Visitor Information Center in N. 4th Avenue to get to know all the attractions and plan your visit. The Information Center is located at the entrance of the Colorado River State Historical Park (charged), so this may be your first stop - visit the restored Quartermaster Warehouse. You can walk from the information center along the paths paved along the Colorado River to Gatway Park, Riverside Park and Territorial Prison State Historic Park, and even venture into the East and West Wetlands area. There is a beach where you can swim/wad, a playground and some nice fishing grounds. Many educational signs throughout the heritage area illustrate the importance of the sites. A restored steam locomotive is displayed next to Garden Inn Hotel, and the mini train operates every weekend in Riverside Park (the cool month of the year) 2 times a month. The historic downtown main street is just a few steps from the river and offers restaurants, shops and public art. Downtown also has restored adobe houses, as well as small museums such as Sanguinetti's former residence and the Yuma Historical Museum. Nearby Armed Forces Park commemorates our veterans. Most amenities seem to be fairly new, which seems to be a developing area. We spent the whole day walking around and didn't have time to see everything, so we planned to go back again.
