It's great to have a huge body of water in the middle of the desert. If you can, get a house boat and dock on one of the beaches and camp out for the weekend. It is so quiet and beautiful. You can see the Milky Way and millions of stars at night.\n\nAs far as daytime activities you can sail, wakeboard, water ski, sit out on the beach, and swim in one of the coves.\n\nThere is really only one shop area so I would suggest bring all your supplies/food ahead of time especially if you plan on staying over night.\n\nYou can also get views of the Hoover damn from the water and beautiful sunsets. There are plenty of cops on boats especially during the busy summer months to keep everyone safe."^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ .
