South Cove Boat Ramp offers access to Lake Mead with both a concrete launch ramp (currently closed due to low water levels) and a primitive 0. 5-mile gravel road leading to an alternative launch location for watercraft above 1,035 feet elevation.

The gravel launch is open year-round and suitable for small boats and paddle craft, though 4x4 vehicles are recommended and soft sand/gravel conditions should be expected.

Amenities include a dock/pier, restroom, trash facilities, and nearby primitive campsites, making it a viable option for boaters when water levels permit.
