The Mohave County Park where we are currently residing, Davis Camp, takes its name from Davis Dam which was completed in the early 50's and is located just to the North of the last sites in the park. The power plant of the dam includes 5 generating units that are capable of producing 255 megawatts of power or 2 billion kilowatt-hours annually.
Lake Mohave, behind the dam, is part of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. It encompasses 44 square miles and extends 67 miles toward Hoover Dam to the North.
A recent afternoon excursion to the area by Deb, Mary, Bill and myself included some excellent views of the dam and the lake area which are represented in these photos and captions that are included at the lower left of each picture include some additional information.
