Great Cabins with air conditioners and clean bathrooms. Lake is small and has a nice swimming area. We stayed over the Fourth of July. And walked to the Mariah Mesa to watch fireworks for Safford and the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend.

This is our second visit to Roper Lake. As last year, the people at the lake were great. Friendly and helpful. The park was clean which is the usual way we find all the state parks! The weather was perfect... Warm in the day and cool at night. Casa Manana in Safford lived up to their reputation with a great meal for all of our group. The only downside was the lake level was down about 6 feet from last year. This meant the little cove we liked to kayak into to watch the birds was no longer accessable. We still kayaked the lake and enjoyed our time on the water. Another successful outing for our club at Roper Lake State Park! Thank you to the lake staff!!
