Lake Mohave
The border between Nevada and Arizona is marked by the Lake Mohave reservoir, which is located downstream of the Hoover Dam. Despite being less well-known than Lake Mead, the lake is still spectacular due to its 26,500 acres of surface area (10,700 ha). It is 75 feet (23 meters) deep and has a volume of 246.1 million cubic meters (199,500 acre-ft). The razorback sucker and the bonytail chub are two endangered native fish species that can be found in the lake. Rainbow trout, striped bass, largemouth, smallmouth, channel catfish, crappie, common carp, and sunfish are the main freshwater species.
You'll learn that Lake Mohave is the perfect location to combine water activity with the thrill of casino resort gaming, Las Vegas-style entertainment, fantastic golf courses, and top-notch dining just down the road at Laughlin. For those who enjoy the water, there are countless beaches around the lake's shoreline that are only accessible by boat. So pick your own beach for your base camp. The southern end of the lake has a large population of largemouth and striped bass. The best striper fishing is found right above Davis Dam. At the lake's upper end, rainbow trout are particularly active around the Colorado River's Willow Beach region. Arizona or Nevada fishing licenses are necessary.
