Question: What Arizona recreation area is named for a submerged mining town?

Answer: Alamo Lake. The remote state park near Wenden was created in 1968 when a 283-foot earthen dam on the Bill Williams River flooded the valley, submerging the mining town of Alamo Crossing and later becoming known for its dark skies, abundant wildlife, and ghost stories beneath the water.
