White Rock Canyon Trailhead
Access Road along Hwy 93 to Trailhead Parking

White Rock Canyon Trailhead is located in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, but south of Hoover Dam along Highway 93 on the Arizona side of the Colorado River, about 45 minutes southeast of Las Vegas.

From town, drive out to Lake Mead. From the intersection of Highway 93 and Lakeshore Road (by the Visitor Center) (Table 1, Site 803), drive south on Highway 93 across the bridge into Arizona to about Mile Post 4 (Site 745). Watch for a left turn across the highway and a paved road leading to a large parking area (Site 936) east of the highway. Park here; this is the trailhead.

If you miss the turnoff, continue south on Highway 93 for about 6 miles to where you can make a U-turn.
