LAKE HAVASU, Ariz. – The Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) Lake Havasu Field Office has completed a two-month improvement project at Bass Point Day Use Area to remodel an informational kiosk, repair fence posts and cable, paint and repair the vault toilet, remove overgrown vegetation, and lay gravel in the parking area. The maintenance staff also posted new signage to improve the visitor’s experience. The recreation area will be available for public use starting January 8.
