South Cove, Arizona

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is the first of a series of spots along the Colorado, and one of the easier ones to deal with. This is not a community: it's just a place to park and launch your boat in Lake Mead. It apparently was put in in the late 1970s because the 1974 topo doesn't show it; a 1980 aerial shows it, with just the most minimal facilities right at the (then) water line. There's a great deal of local news about it because the lake has dropped so low that the paved ramp doesn't reach the water anymore. There is a section of the lake article which talks about recreational facilities, but it doesn't list them and I am loathe to add such a directory, especially considering that it would probably be rather long.

 * Delete - There was never a "cove" here until Lake Mead was established in 1935, and it's been part of Lake Mead National Recreation Area since 1936 so it's unlikely that there ever would have been a community here with this name. There's no evidence that this was ever a notable populated place. –dlthewave ☎ 16:20, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
