Overview

Located along the shores of Mohave Lake, Six Mile Cove is an easily accessible remote camping and swimming area. A short drive from the small town of Searchlight, Nevada you will travel along a well-maintained gravel trail, with broad panoramas of the Lake Mohave Desert region. Shortly after beginning the trail, you'll probably want to stop at the old cemetery that has some old and interesting grave markers. Although 4x4 is recommended, the route is accessible by some stock, high clearance cars, trucks and SUV's. The cove is a very large open area beach that can accommodate several large groups of people camping. The cove is very popular during the summer months for its kiteboarding, swimming and scuba diving. While camping at the cove you'll be enticed into taking long walks along the rocky shore and you'll certainly enjoy a spectacular night under the seemingly endless blanket of stars.
