After a long day of hiking, there’s nothing like an invigorating dip in Roper Lake State Park’s hot mineral spring to bring you back to life. Soak your aches and troubles away in this beautiful setting, which features a 30-acre stocked lake, lakeside cabins, sail-boarding, gazebos, picnic areas, an Indian Village and a playground. The park is located off U.S. Route 191, six miles south of Safford, Arizona.

Many Arizona horse properties are located close to or on the boundaries of state and national forests. Santa Cruz County features hundreds of miles of trails and stunning views in the Coronado National Forest, and thanks to Arizona’s mild winters, these can be enjoyed year-round.
