Both resorts have lodging, campgrounds, restaurant, store, and marina with gas dock. In addition to these two resorts, Willow Beach Harbor has a gas dock and store at the north end of the lake, but NO restaurant, campground, or lodging. Willow is located about 9 miles down river from Hoover Dam. Katherine Landing is located conveniently near Laughlin, Nevada. This provides for entertainment by night, then water play by day.
Hotels are also plentiful as well as cheap meals.
Cottonwood Cove is about an hour drive north of Laughlin on the Nevada side of the river. This area is quieter and less busy, not to mention being 20 miles closer by water to Hoover dam. See our map of Lake Mohave. Lake Mohave was formed in 1953 with the completion of Davis Dam, named after Arthur Powell Davis, Director of Reclamation from 1914 to 1932. He was one of a small group of men who originally had the vision of harnessing the power and water resources of the mighty Colorado River.
