The Powers Butte Wildlife Area is located along the east side of the Gila River, about twenty miles north of Gila Bend, in Maricopa County, Arizona. It was founded in 1982 and spans 1,120 acres. ==Area description== Powers Butte Wildlife Area lies at less than 1,000 feet in elevation within the central Gila River valley south of Phoenix, Arizona. The 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant, local agriculture, intermittent tributary flows, and groundwater all feed the Gila River through the wildlife area, creating dense stands of salt cedar, and marsh and wetland habitats. Powers Butte, a steep knoll formed by volcanic boulder, provides an overlook to the surrounding valley and river.〔 Winters are mild, high temperatures falling below 60 °F are not common. On relatively rare occasions, temperatures can drop below freezing during the coolest parts of the year. Summer afternoons can exceed 100 °F from late May through late September. Rainfall is spotty and sporadic, and in most years totals less than eight inches. Dust storms can occur occasionally.〔 ;Restrictions * No open fires. * No firewood cutting or gathering. * No overnight public camping. * Motorized vehicle travel permitted on designated roads, on designated trails, or in designated areas only. * Open to hunting in season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Powers Butte Wildlife Area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
