Tule Wash Cove

Overview

Tule Wash Cove is an undeveloped shoreline cove on Lake Mohave within the national recreation area. It’s a low-key spot for those who like their lakeside time simple and self-sufficient—no formal facilities, no painted parking stalls, just water, desert, and sky.

Access and Amenities

Access is via designated dirt roads that can include sand and variable surfaces. There’s no formal lot—expect dirt/sand pullouts or beach-style parking where conditions allow. On-site amenities are essentially nil: no restrooms, potable water, or trash service. The nearest hub for restrooms, fuel, and a store is Cottonwood Cove Resort & Marina.

What to Expect

Because it isn’t a developed access point, Tule Wash Cove stays quieter than well-known spots. Think primitive shoreline time rather than a built-out beach. If you prefer vault toilets and more structure, nearby coves such as Nevada Telephone and Six‑Mile are commonly used and better known.

Best Time to Visit

There are no posted hours in the available info. Conditions on backcountry roads and along the shoreline change with weather and water level, so the smart move is to check the park’s current alerts before you go and plan your visit around favorable lake and road conditions.

Practical Notes

• Stay on designated roads only.
• Pack in and pack out everything, including a portable toilet solution.
• Bring extra water, shade, and basic recovery gear—soft sand is possible.
• Use Cottonwood Cove as your staging point for supplies and last-minute needs.
