Guide
Lake Mohave Lodge is a 51-room motel within Katherine Landing, on Lake Mohave’s Arizona shore. It works best as an overnight base for boating and water time: the marina, launch ramp and swim beach are steps away. Use the Katherine Landing address, 2690 Katherine Spur Road, to reach the wider campus; the location pin marks the marina, not the lodge’s exact building, so confirm the lodge entrance with the operator.
The lodge is close to the marina, launch ramp and swim beach, making it a handy base for a day on the water. The Katherine Landing area also opens onto Lake Mohave’s network of 198 coves; Turkey Cove is reached by Fisherman’s Trail, while Sand Cove and Arizona Telephone Cove are reached by Lake View Trail. If you bring a fishing boat, the rear parking area has complimentary outdoor outlets for boat-battery charging on a first-come basis. They are not EV chargers.
