Bullhead City is located in northwestern Mohave County, Arizona at the point where Arizona, Nevada and California all meet to form the “tri-state” area. Located halfway between Phoenix and Los Angeles, the tri-state area includes Bullhead City, Fort Mojave and Mohave Valley, Arizona, Needles, California, and Laughlin, Nevada. The Colorado River and Lake Mohave make up the western boundary of Mohave County, offering hundreds of miles of shoreline and access to Lake Mohave and Lake Mead. Katherine Landing, the southernmost access to Lake Mohave, offers several boat launching ramps, large marina, campgrounds, motel, grocery store, boat rentals and repair shop.
U.S. Interstate 40, Nevada Route 95, and Arizona Route 68 make travel to the area very accessible by car or RV. Other transportation options include air service via the Laughlin-Bullhead City International Airport, Amtrak’s daily stops at the station in Needles, California, and various bus services from the station in Laughlin, Nevada. Getting around town is easy with Bullhead City’s BATS bus system, Laughlin’s CAT bus service and several cab and car rental companies.
