Lake Mohave Map – Depth, Hazards & 500+ POI in Your Pocket

A paper map can show you the outline of Lake Mohave. It can’t show you where the Black Canyon ledges sit near the surface, which mid-lake coves have beach today, or how the shoreline moves with the next dam release. Lake Genius puts all 67 miles – Hoover Dam to Davis Dam, 237 miles of shoreline – on your phone, with daily-updated depth and hazards, and it works offline.

More Than a Paper Map. More Than a Generic App.

A printed map shows one snapshot, not much help on a reservoir whose shoreline breathes with daily releases from two dams. Generic boating apps spread static data across the entire country and price it to match.

Lake Genius is built for Lake Mohave specifically. The map updates daily, redraws the shoreline to the current level, and works fully offline once downloaded, which matters when coverage drops through the canyon.

Underwater Terrain & Depth Contours

See What's Under the Surface

The Black Canyon section near Hoover Dam runs narrow and deep, with submerged rocks and steep ledges close to the surface. Zoom in and the X-Ray View renders a simulated 3D view of the bottom: depth contours beneath the water, hazards within 9 feet of the surface highlighted, and the current waterline in red. It updates daily, so you see today’s hazards, not last season’s.

237 Miles of Shoreline, Hoover to Davis – All Mapped

Lake Mohave has a split personality: sheer canyon cliffs at the north end, sandy coves through the middle, and the open water above Davis Dam to the south. Lake Genius maps the whole run, including the Black Canyon narrows, the mid-lake coves, the hot-springs canyons below Hoover, and every marina and launch in between, so you always know where you are across all 237 miles of shoreline, online or off.

BEACHES, COVES, FISHING & CAMPING

2,000+ Points of Interest – Curated, Not Crowdsourced

Lake Genius carries 2,000+ curated points of interest across every lake it covers, placed by our team rather than crowdsourced. At Lake Mohave, that includes:

Marinas and launch ramps

Katherine Landing (south, full-service, near Bullhead City, AZ), Cottonwood Cove Resort & Marina (mid-lake, Nevada side north of Laughlin), and Willow Beach Marina (north, in the Black Canyon corridor below Hoover). Free launches include Princess Cove, Telephone Cove, and Nelson’s Landing/Placer Cove.

Coves and landmarks

The Black Canyon narrows near Hoover Dam, the hot-springs canyons just below the dam, and the sandy mid-lake coves.

Fishing spots

Trout water near Willow Beach and structure throughout the lake.

Fishing at Lake Mohave

Fish Smarter With the Depth Map

Mohave is known for its trout near Willow Beach and structure-holding fish through the canyon and coves. The X-Ray View’s depth contours help you find the ledges, drop-offs, and channel edges where fish stage, and you can adjust the water level in the app to scout how that structure changes. Mark a spot, drop a photo pin, and it’s there next trip.

Download for Offline Use

Download the Map. Use It Everywhere.

Coverage thins out in the canyon between Willow Beach and Cottonwood Cove and along the Arizona shoreline. Download the Lake Mohave map before you launch and the interactive map, X-Ray View, depth contours, POI, GPS navigation, and saved routes all work without a connection. Water level and weather pulls need a brief signal, so grab those at Katherine Landing or Cottonwood Cove first.

Your Map, Your Markers

Build Your Own Lake Mohave Map

The curated POI are just the start. Drop custom markers on your favorite cove, your trout spot, or the hot spring you want to find again. Snap a photo and the Photo Marker pins it to the map. Share any marker by text, and when they tap the link, the app opens and the marker drops onto their map.
