Placer Cove Road, located within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, is a short dead-end spur road south of Eagle Wash that leads to Placer Cove, a popular spot for cliff jumping. The cove at the end of the road provides a great place to hang out, swim, or conduct other water activities. The road surface is mainly hard-packed dirt with spots of small protruding rocks and short sections of coarse sand and gravel. The road is easily traversed by just about any vehicle, but users should be prepared for a slightly bumpy drive. Camping is not allowed along Placer Cove Road, but there are pit toilets located within the cove. Additionally, trash receptacles can be found at the start of the trail at the intersection with Eagle Wash.
