Nelson Landing Access

Nelson Landing offers access to Lake Mohave via a paved road that transitions to dirt road within a half mile of the water's edge, located about 16 miles north of Cottonwood Cove by water and 25 miles from Boulder City by road.

The site features good fishing opportunities and scenic canyon views, with smooth water conditions protected by high mountain walls, though water skiing is prohibited north of Chalk Cliffs (approximately 3 miles north).

Note: This is a day-use access area with no boat launch ramp available.
