Arizona Bay Road is a straight-through road connecting two different points of Cottonwood Cove East. It has sections of soft sand but is generally a mix of loose and packed gravel with occasional washboard and shallow ruts. This road is much sandier than other roads in the area, and although the trail can be done in 2WD, a high clearance 4WD vehicle is recommended. The road is a shortcut to Arizona Bay and the Colorado River. The drive provides fantastic views of the Black Mountains and Lake Mohave. There are no pre-established campsites along this road.
Although this road is within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area fee area, there are no entrance stations along the way to obtain a pass.
