I-40 Exit 23mm W, Rest Stop

Driving along Interstate 40 in northwestern Arizona with your furry pal? Take a break and stretch those legs at the Haviland Rest Area Westbound! Located between mileposts 22 and 23, this dog-friendly location near Mohave Valley and Kingman is a convenient stop during long road trips with your pup. 

Situated ruffly 30 miles south of Kingman, the Haviland Rest Area Westbound is equipped with various amenities to make your journey more comfortable. Here, you and your pooch will find ADA accessible parking for cars and trucks, clean restrooms, and drinking fountains. There's also a designated pet exercise area where Fido can burn off some pent-up energy. Don't let your pup run loose, though—all doggos stopping by Haviland must be leashed and cleaned up after. If you left your pick-up bags in the car, just grab a mutt mitt from the pet station and dispose of your dog's waste properly. While there are caretakers on the site 16 hours per day, visitors are expected to do their part in keeping the area clean.

Be sure to take in the furrific desert and mountain views while you and your pup are stretching your legs. Check out the information panels to learn more about Arizona, too. Afterward, duck under a ramada and dig into a packed lunch with Fido at one of the covered picnic tables. If you don't have your own food, you can get a snack from the vending machines, which take both cash and cards. 

Haviland is open 24 hours a day and well-lit at night, giving weary travelers a safe place to pawse and rest any time of the day. The site is rarely crowded, but you do have to keep an eye out for insects and reptiles. Recharge with your pooch before hitting the road again at the Haviland Rest Area Westbound!
