They both have a myriad array of facilities which include, camping for tents or trailers, rentals, lodging, restaurants, boating docks and launches, and much more. One of its unique offers is houseboat rentals.

Fishing in the desert after a day on an ATV trail is some people's idea of perfect, if that description fits you, just make sure you packed your fishing license along for the ATV ride. Just an ATV run up from the Dam on the Nevada side you can find Laughlin, Nevada for any gaming urges you may find you have.
