Nearby Attractions and Activities:
The Colorado River is the main attraction. Because the park is located just downstream of Davis Dam, the river is clear and cool year round. Although the park has approximately two miles of shoreline and riparian areas, the majority of the park is comprised of canyons and washes. The area is rich with beautiful rock formations and scenic viewpoints.
The river attracts a variety of waterfowl and shore birds including mallards, coots, herons and geese. Hawks, roadrunners, quail, hummingbirds, doves and owls are also abundant in the park. Common animals include cottontail, fox, raccoon, beaver, muskrat, coyote and an occasional bobcat or bighorn sheep. Several species of lizards and snakes inhabit the park, along with an occasional turtle by the river.
Laughlin, NV – Big Bend of the Colorado State Recreation Area is located just down the road from the Casino town of Laughlin, NV. A handful of Casinos line the Nevada side of the Colorado river and provide all the typical amenities that come with them.
Lake Mohave is a reservoir on the Colorado River created in 1951 following the completion of Davis Dam near present-day Laughlin, Nevada, and Bullhead City, Arizona. Named for the Mohave Indians who previously inhabited this region of the Colorado River valley, Lake Mohave extends approximately 67 miles along the valley from Hoover Dam to Davis Dam straddling the southern Nevada and northwestern Arizona border, which follows the original river channel.
Oatman, AZ Ghost Town is a town in the Black Mountains of Mohave County, Arizona, United States. Located at an elevation of 2,710 feet, it began as a small mining camp soon after two prospectors struck a $10 million gold find in 1915, though the vicinity had already been settled for a number of years. By the 1960s, Oatman was all but abandoned. Today, Oatman has undergone a tourism renaissance of sorts in recent years, thanks to burgeoning worldwide interest in Route 66 and the explosive growth of the nearby gaming town of Laughlin, Nevada, which promotes visits to the town. Oatman’s most famous attractions are its wild burros, which freely roam the town streets and can be hand-fed hay cubes otherwise known as “burro chow,” readily available in practically every store in town.
