Lake Mohave

Although they are both included in the Lake Mead Recreation Area, Lake Mohave and Lake Mead are independent bodies of water. The lake ultimately opens up into more open water after spending a significant amount of time in canyons with steep walls.

The water in Lake Mohave is constantly colder down the canyons and into the more open part of the lake because it is downstream from Lake Mead and because it is released from Lake Mead's bottom. This water is incredibly cooling on hot days!

Lake Mohave is also one of the most beautiful lake in Arizona, it's offers all the typical lake activities, including boating, fishing, swimming, and person-powered boats. Along the shorelines on both sides, there are RV parks and approved campgrounds. Each shoreline of this lake is in a different state because it lies on the border between Arizona and Nevada.

For anglers, boaters, and other water sport enthusiasts searching for a more private getaway, Lake Mohave offers a variety of coves and hidden fishing spots.
