Overview

Fisherman Cove Road is a 10.5-mile partially graded, partially two-track road that runs east-west between the paved Gold Butte Road and Fisherman Cove along the Virgin River, which is within the boundaries of Lake Mead NRA.

The road is graded for the first 7 miles, and much of this part runs across a broad bajada with long views southwest to Lake Mead, but it crosses two major washes that can be washed out. At 7.1 miles out, the road forks. Fisherman Cove Road stays left and soon narrows as it follows washes downstream, becoming a two-track where everything is washed out farther down. This road provides access to the Virgin River, and it can be used as part of a loop that connects with Sand Wash Road or Mud Wash Road to return to Whitney Pocket.

Presented here are photos of the return back up Fisherman Cove Road because it always looks different on the way back. For a detailed description of the route, including directions, maps, GPS coordinates, and photos, see Fisherman Cove Road - Westbound.
