Blythe, CA Local Community

Blythe is so small and cute that you can basically count all of the city's assets: 24 churches, 1 library, 2 newspapers, 2 radio stations, 3 banks, 1 funeral home, and 1 recreation center. The recreation center is a great place for campers and hikers who love nature and want to spend a while in the great outdoors. This nice place offers six parks, seven campgrounds, seven RV parks and a public golf course.
 
Here is a fun fact about this place. The first automobile bridge over the Colorado River, that is located between Blythe and Ehrenberg, was constructed back in 1928 to replace a cable ferry service. But this was not enough! The bridge's successor was built in the early 1960s, and then it was expanded to four lanes and a pedestrian walkway in early 1974.
 
Blythe hosts a yearly event called the Blythe Bluegrass Festival, where an important number of local musicians delight the crowd with great music. You can bring your RV and stay at the Fairgrounds or nearby RV Resorts. This event goes on for three days!
