There are over 80 miles of walking, jogging and biking trails that tie the community together.

Southern Nevada Zoological and Botanical Park: Touted as Nevada’s “Wildest Family Entertainment” this shady 3-acre park is just 15 minutes from your Desert Shores home. There are over 150 species of plants and animals – it provides a wonderful educational experience for you and your family. You can visit anytime during the year, because it’s Nevada’s only year-round zoo.
