Description

Recently opened, this beginner friendly River Mountains bike trail will take you leisurely downhill toward Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam.
After some basic riding instruction, you will set off toward the trailhead and be immediately rewarded with spectacular views of Lake Mead. A short stop gives you the opportunity to see Bighorn Sheep, so don’t forget the camera. Resting points along the way will allow for explorations, photos, and questions about the area.

The bike path continues to meander toward Lake Mead where you can stop at the Lake Mead Visitor’s Center for water and restroom break. Visit the wildlife exhibit and learn about local plants and animals of the Mohave desert.
