On Friday, November 7th we decided to take a stroll along the Laughlin Nevada Riverwalk and add a few Geocaches to our found list. On our way from Golden Valley, AZ to Laughlin, NV, before we crossed the Colorado river, we took a short side trip to see Lake Mohave.
Lake Mohave is a reservoir formed by Davis Dam on the Colorado River just north of Laughlin, and is fed by the outflow of Lake Mead thru the Hoover Dam to the north. Water leaving Lake Mohave flows into Lake Havasu to the south. Popular recreational activities at Lake Mohave are swimming, kayaking, fishing, boating, and skiing.

The Laughlin Riverwalk is a paved walkway that runs along the west side of the Colorado River connecting seven of Laughlin's eight river side casinos. From the Riverside Casino on the north end, the Riverwalk runs approximately 1.5 miles to the River Palms Casino on the south end.

After walking the length of the Riverwalk from the Riverside Casino to the River palms Casino, we elected to ride the water taxi south to Harrah's Casino, rather than hike the steep "overland route" from the end of the Riverwalk.

We also found 10 of the 13 Geocaches along the Laughlin Riverwalk we set out to log. Not a bad Geocaching day!
