Here's the irony--I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years and had never been to Lake Mohave until I moved to Phoenix and came back for a work project at Cottonwood Cove. Man oh man do I wish I had known of this beauty in all the years I felt stuck in a overbuilt, dirty city. My zen level would have been far better had I taken periodic trips to the lake. I mean, I've obviously been to Lake Mead but it's not special. The surrounding desert is, but the lake is murky and gross. Lake Mohave has no serious bath ring, has beaches, and has beautiful clear water. The Cottonwood Cove area even has a store with tons of beverages and snacks at reasonable prices. I definitely will be back in the future for some R&R in this desert oasis. Definitely do yourself a favor and spend some time relaxing on a boat here, I really don't think you'll regret it.

An awesome find on a roadtrip from Flagstaff to Hoover Dam. Pulled off of Highway 40 on a whim to…read moreexplore Lake Mohave and after several long minutes on winding narrow road amongst the desolate desert landscape, the road opens up and you arrive at the lake, which laid beautiful against the backdrop of the desert landscape and gave off an aura of mystery and tranquility and rest. People were canoeing and paddle boarding and fishing. Met a young conservationist from the fish hatchery there who showed off the baby fish which he had taken from the lake to nurture in the hatchery. We sat by the lake for awhile and enjoyed the atmosphere and scenery, but wished we had more time dedicated to the lake. Will definitely be back and do some canoeing next time!

It is literally right at the base of the Davis dam along the Colorado river about 10 minutes from Casino drive. We spent almost 2 hours here letting them play on this playground. There is a walking trail that goes around the entire park as well as picnic tables with shade. We mostly stayed in the playground area which had modern, clean and safe equipment for my kids. The restrooms were typical public restrooms but they were open and usable. There was also an area with cool painted rocks that people have left behind. I believe at the edge of the park there was a dog run/dog park area. Stunning views of the powerful dam and the river.

When we arrive at our paid for slip, no matter if we are first arriving or arriving before we leave for the day, another boat is ALWAYS parked at our slip and we have to politely ask them to leave and circle around till they do. I am not sure if there is anything you can do to prevent this but it gets very frustrating when it happens every time, no matter what time of day. The signs say, no courtesy or docking here, but nobody pays attention!!

Thank you Dawn for hosting us! The accommodations were wonderful. People don't normally read long…read moreposts, so I will shorten up the greatest two day adventure I have ever had. Day one, Ty got us on the pigs quick. My son took a very large hog, Ty's stalking technique's are perfect - sun to the back and wind in our face. This was my son's first hunting experience and he will always remember it. Ty made this happen for him; from stalking to the cooler, Ty guided my son thru every aspect of hunting. An experience that will last a lifetime! Day two, we were looking for Bison. You may think that it is easy, but it's not! Ten hours of tracking and 15 seconds to take a shot is very challenging. Don't let their size fool you; they are quick, quiet, and cover a lot of ground in a very short time. Ty will post video clips of the hunt and you will see!! Ty is a true professional. He was guiding and tracking the whole time with a fractured leg. He never gave up and went well above and beyond what he should have, considering his condition. I couldn't imagine what he could do if he was 100%. WATCH THE VIDEO!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING Dawn and Ty!! Dave Chumley

The park has improved since our first visit about 3 summers ago. We come here at least once and we all enjoy it, we get there early morning and leave right before closing. I may add, if you go during the summer, you MUST wear sun protection and bring lots of water, the heat is no joke. The water is really cold which is refreshing on a hot summer day. The staff is very friendly and informative, also very helpful!! My tent blew away during a little windy moment and they helped me bring it back while also providing tips to prevent it from happening again. In the past, we had to get there before the park opened to secure a spot and once capacity was met they didn't allow anyone to enter. This was tough since there were a couple times we didn't make it on time and had to go elsewhere. Now, things have changed, which is a lot more convenient. They only allow the people that have reserved online go in from 7am-11:30am. If you DO NOT have reservations, you will NOT be allowed in before 11:30. At 11:30 they will only allow you in if they haven't reached capacity and it's first come first serve. If you did RSVP and make it after 11:30am, you risk losing your spot since general people will be allowed in at that time.
