Red Rock

The afternoon sun lights up the cliffs of Red Rock cove to brilliant oranges and red as if they were on fire. Located just north of Pilot Rock on the Arizona side of the river, Red Rock is a popular bass and striper fishing ground for late-day anglers. The intense hues of the red rock cliffs is so vivid that the water immediately beneath the cliffs turns a deep amber color. Boaters are able to safely approach the cliffs for a closer look as this portion of the lake is among the deepest sections of the southern end. For those wishing to hike the area, there are several boat-in beaches along and near Red Rock.
