Lake Mead NRA Dispersed near Cottonwood Cove

Description

Tucked inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area near the Nevada–Arizona border, this waterside dispersed spot sits in open desert terrain with wildlife — burros and coyotes are regular nighttime company. The final miles of approach cross stretches of deep, soft sand, making 4WD essential; trailers should not attempt the route. No facilities exist anywhere nearby, so arrive fully self-sufficient and pack everything out.
