Me and the wife went out to see emerald cove and was amazed by the desert scenery. We took road 62 off highway 93 as far as our non-4x4 vehicle could take us. If it wasn't for one hill that had us question if we should chance it or not, we probably could have made it to the end of the road. Hiking the few miles down from our campsite(dispersed) with a kayak on my back was not fun but it was worth it once you get down to the water. The water felt amazing and is so clear with the emerald green color to it. I believe the best map and information I found was on the lake mead recreational website.
