**Location & Facilities**
Bullhead City - 1 is a concrete plank boat ramp (20 feet wide) located in Bullhead City, Nevada, at the end of Mohave Valley Highway. The ramp provides access to the Colorado River and welcomes all types of watercraft. The surrounding Bullhead Community Park offers maintained facilities including beaches with ramadas, restrooms, and a fish cleaning station.
**River Conditions**
The Colorado River at this location is a major waterway with an average flow of 2,220 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 7.75 feet per second. With a relatively steep gradient of 3.2 feet per mile in this section, paddlers should expect moving water and plan accordingly for skill level and conditions. This is an excellent access point for both motorized and non-motorized watercraft, with nearby Lake Mohave offering calmer water alternatives if needed.

Beyond the ramp itself, Bullhead City provides multiple amenities for water recreation enthusiasts, including additional boat launches, jet ski rentals, and fishing opportunities. The area is situated near the scenic Dead Mountains Wilderness, making it a good base for exploring the Colorado River corridor.
