Less Time Driving. More Time on the Water This Memorial Day Weekend

Just minutes from Bullhead City, Lake Mohave stretches nearly 70 miles between steep desert mountains and hidden coves. Katherine Landing is a popular launch point for boating, fishing and exploring some of the lake’s quieter shoreline areas. The water stays cool, the scenery feels untouched and there’s always another cove waiting around the corner.

It’s one of the best nearby escapes for anyone looking to spend the weekend on the water without the crowds of larger lake destinations.  Whether you’re exploring Lake Mohave or spending the day on the Colorado River, remember to wear a life jacket, boat responsibly and help keep our waterways beautiful by leaving no trace behind.

Take a short drive into Arizona’s Wild West history with a trip to Oatman, the famous old mining town along Historic Route 66. Watch staged gunfights, see the wild burros roaming the streets and enjoy one of the most scenic drives in the Southwest.

With Route 66 approaching its centennial, there’s never been a better time to experience one of America’s most iconic highways.

Take a quick look at the kind of Old West fun waiting just up the road in Oatman below.
