Lake Mohave

With almost 250 kilometers of jagged shoreline, Lake Mohave is an adventurer's paradise. This is the spot to go if you want to get away from the crowds of boaters in Arizona. The upper 22 miles of the lake are formed from out small gorges, making it a wonderful place to explore and get back to nature.

The water is warmer farther down the lake, closer to Laughlin, averaging in the high 70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, and here is where most of the lake action takes place. The lake is easily accessible, and marinas provide all of the facilities that boaters require. Apart from a few pleasant beaches, the Nevada side of the lake is more primitive, with no facilities. Fishing for striped, small, and largemouth bass, crappie, and rainbow trout is fantastic on the lake, but the change in water temperatures as you move north makes finding the right spots a little difficult.
