Meadview, the only community in Arizona with access to Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon by personal watercraft, graces the easterly end of Lake Mead on an unspoiled plateau swept with Joshua Trees.
Enjoy fishing, sandy beaches and a day use picnic area with adjacent swimming beach at South Cove, or travel by water northeast into the Grand Canyon or southwest to Hoover Dam.
Either direction affords magnificent views, abundant wildlife and total relaxation. The Ute Trail, used for centuries by Indians crossing the Colorado River, is in Grapevine Wash located east of Meadview.
