in 1949. Today, the airport has air ambulance and air charter services, and

service in the U.S. A total renovation of the building was completed in
2010. While still serving as a railroad station, the building is also now home

Weather & Lifestyle: Mohave County has one of the best climates in the
world. The mean temperature throughout the entire year is 76° in the
daytime and 47° in the night. These figures are based on a 30 year
average. Sunny weather in Mohave County promotes the desire to be
outside. The desert climate guarantees warm winters. But vast Mohave
County has 8,000' elevations to the north, and water everywhere, offering
vast, year round, unlimited recreational options – with no hurricanes,
earthquakes, mudslides, fires, or tornadoes. There is golfing, boating and
kayaking on Lake Mohave and the Colorado River. It is a great area to
cruise on motorcycles and explore miles of open desert land on ATVs. Like
Palm Springs or Las Vegas, it is the desert, where it can be hot in summer.
But you can enjoy Lake Mohave and the Colorado River to cool off, or go
up to the northern regions of Mohave County, where you can hike and
camp in the higher elevations in Kingman – where it’s cool during summer
nights. Now that’s relief from the heat! But the sunny, cozy winter months
offer plenty of amazing tee times on one of the areas plentiful golf courses.
The relaxed lifestyle is reminiscent of Palm Springs during its early years,
and you will have a leisurely and short drive to work. And there is clear
water. Unlike many lakes in the US which maybe have free-standing lakes
which can promote murky water or generally poor water quality, the
Colorado running through these lakes and down south provides a natural
filtration system, which promotes clear water.

significant to the county’s growth as any factor. As the "last stop" before the
California border to the west and then onto the Southern California market,
and its ports to Asia and China, companies are attracted to our lower land
costs and reliable power and resources, to set up distribution centers and
industrial parks in Mohave County.
Southern Californians who come in summer are referred to by locals as
“River Rats”, while those who visit in winter from the Midwest and Canada
are called “Snow Birds. Many will choose to move to the area once they
retire.
And while the area offers Las Vegas-style casinos, sports books, day spas,
and entertainment across the river in Laughlin, NV, in the Mohave Valley
you can play with your family in parks, cheer the state champion high
school sports teams, and meet close friends and neighbors at communitysponsored festivals and concerts. Las Vegas is not their backyard, and
residents like it that way. But Vegas is an easy drive to what is arguably the
world’s largest adult playground with unbelievable shopping, dining, and
premier entertainment and sports.
Sunny almost all the time. No natural disasters. Desert. Mountains. A lake
and river. Dramatic elevations. Small town life with ‘Vegas close by. That is
what Mohave County is all about.

the premier retirement area in the country – especially with the growing real
estate problems and weather catastrophes affecting Florida, which for the
first time in two decades has experienced a drop in population growth.

Lake Mohave & the Colorado River: Three miles from Laughlin is Davis
Damn and Lake Mohave. The lake has 237 miles of shoreline. Plenty of
pure white sandy beaches for swimming and fishing. The reason for
Laughlin's phenomenal growth: (1) unlike Las Vegas, Laughlin is a wateroriented, recreational community; and (2) it caters to middle-American
"shirt-sleeve gamblers" who find the common-touch atmosphere of
Laughlin less intimidating than the glitz of the Las Vegas strip. During the
entire year, because of the extensive recreational activities afforded by the
Colorado River and Lake Mohave, the area attracts both weekend summer
sports enthusiasts and a year round mobile population of retirees who
settle in the Colorado River communities during the mild winter months.
The Colorado River, like Lake Mohave, is known as the world's largest
inland Striper Bass fishery. The river also offers but throat trout, largemouth
bass, pan fish, crappie and catfish. There are also plenty of 25 lb. carp for
special ethnic holiday festivities.
Lake Mohave is 67 miles long and has a surface area of 44 square miles.
Lake Mohave, gateway to the Lake Mead National Recreation area, a
Mecca that caters to outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds, offering a paradise for

Area. There are plenty of golf and tennis facilities in the general area. The
Lake Mead National Recreation Area is the U.S.'s first and largest national
recreation area. It encompasses an area twice the size of the state of
Rhode Island. On the Colorado River, the Little Belle, a 150 passenger
side-wheeler, makes frequent departures from the Edgewater Casino,
docks in Laughlin, and the double-decker Fiesta Queen offers daily cruises
every two hours. You can rent boats, fishing tackle, etc. in Bullhead City
pro shops. Some time ago, Chet Moreland, proprietor of Smitty's Bait &
Tackle, officially logged in a trophy inland striped bass caught by a
Bullhead City man. The fish measured 48 inches and weighed in at a
whopping 40 lbs. More recently, a new record of 59 lbs. 12 oz. was taken
from the river 15 to 25 lb. fish are common.
In winter, when much of the United States and Canada shivers in below
freezing temperatures, mild and sunny days prevail in Mohave County,
Arizona.
