This park consists of 1000 miles of beach and shore line, along two of the largest lakes in the Western United States. Here is year round fishing, boating, swimming, water skiing and many excellent marinas, fine mooring facilities, docks and concessionaires who know how to make your visit one you will long remember. All of this amid the most breath taking scenery you have ever seen.

(Update: Currently this airstrip is no longer there), A Private air strip is located 20 miles north on Hwy 93.) A giant commercial air field, served by scheduled airlines is located at the city of Kingman, just minutes away.
