Blue Point Picnic Area access

Blue Point is a popular river-access point (RAP) on the Lower Salt River ideal for tubing and non-motorized boating, featuring a large sandy beach and mesquite grove for shade.

Day-use only facilities include restrooms, picnic tables, and parking (no potable water available), with a $8-12 day-use fee required.

Located 20 miles northeast of Mesa via paved Bush Highway, the site is best visited May-September when water levels are higher, though visitors should be aware of hazards including fallen trees in the river and the prohibition on jumping from bridges.
