The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Lake Havasu Field Office has prepared the Lake Havasu Field Office Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP) to provide comprehensive current and future management of the more than 1.3 million acres of BLM-administered public land located within the Lake Havasu Field Office planning area. The planning area is comprised of portions of Mohave, La Paz, Yavapai, and Maricopa Counties in Arizona and San Bernardino County in California. This plan represents years of ongoing, coordinated efforts on the part of BLM Lake Havasu Field Office staff, BLM Arizona State Office staff, representatives of communities located within the planning area, cooperating and collaborating government agencies, special interest and user groups, and hundreds of concerned citizens. The decisions outlined in this document will enable the BLM to manage the resources and uses of BLM-administered public lands located within the Lake Havasu Field Office planning area as a comprehensive unit.

Planning Area and Map
The planning area boundary includes the Colorado River from Davis Dam in the north, (bordering Nevada/Arizona) to south of Parker Dam. On the California side, the planning area varies in width from less than one-quarter mile to approximately 6 miles west of the Colorado River. The planning area also trends east to Alamo Dam and the Harcuvar Mountains, which are located near the community of Wenden, Arizona. The planning area includes two incorporated cities (Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City), and the town of Parker, Arizona, along with more than a dozen smaller communities, and encompasses more than 1.3 million acres of BLM-administered public land, resources, and uses.

Located within the planning area are the Havasu National Wildlife Refuge, Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge, five designated BLM wilderness areas, and other critical fisheries, migratory waterfowl, and desert plant and wildlife habitats. Seven Native American Indian tribes (Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, Hopi Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Yavapai-Prescott Tribe, and Colorado River Indian Tribes) either currently reside within boundaries of the planning area or have recognized cultural ties to these lands.

The area is widely known as a recreation destination. Seasonal population changes significantly influence water and land-dependent outdoor recreation use within the planning area. 

Decisions in the RMP apply to more than 1.3 million acres of BLM-administered public land within the 2.1-million-acre planning area. This area includes approximately 70,992 acres of U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) acquired and withdrawn land.
