Lake Mohave is part of the greater Lake Mead National Recreation Area.  The lake was formed by multiple dams along the Colorado River…the Hoover Dam to the north and the Davis Dam to the south.  This 67-mile long lake was named after the Mohave Indians who inhabited this area of the Colorado River basin.

Lake Mohave offers a great spot to cool off from the 120-degree mid-summer heat.  And, in the cooler months, there’s an endless amount of camping, hiking, and exploring all along the lake’s borders.  This area is littered with ancient petroglyphs and Native American sites…thousands of years old.  There are hundreds of historic mines all throughout the area, too.  But, more than anything else, it’s the stunningly beautiful desert landscape that is most enchanting.
