California Islands Map
Several islands exist off the coast of California. Catalina Island is by far the most popular, but not included on this map. Some refer to these as the Santa Barbara Islands, since they are out near the Santa Barbara Channel.

Many islands are inaccessible, but the Channel Islands are indeed a National Park – reachable only by boat or by air – from the Ventura coastline. Advanced reservations will be needed to book a boat trip or a flight to the islands.

Lake Mead is a man-made lake that lies on the Colorado River, 25 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, in the states of Nevada and Arizona. It is the largest reservoir in the United States in terms of water capacity. Formed by the Hoover Dam on September 30, 1935, the reservoir serves water to the states of Arizona, California, and Nevada, as well as some of Mexico, providing sustenance to nearly 20 million people and large areas of farmland.

Lake Mohave is quieter, water is cleaner; features an undeveloped shoreline; off road trails and primitive camping in coves. Bring your own firewood, as there is no forest left in this desert.
