Desert Shores encompasses 682 acres and features four manmade lakes (complete with docks for paddle boating), a lagoon-style swimming pool surrounded by a sand beach, palm trees and a picnic park (with volleyball, basketball courts and playground facilities). There are over 80 miles of walking, jogging and biking trails that tie the community together. When you’re hungry after a day of “fun in the sun” then you’ll want to dine overlooking the water from any one of the lakeside restaurants.
When you and your family want to venture beyond its shores, there’s a variety of activities (from hiking, to playing a round of golf, to watching lions play) right outside your door.
Spring Mountain Ranch State Park: Located beneath the colorful cliffs of the magnificent Wilson Range, this park is usually 10-15 degrees cooler than the desert valley (thanks to its elevation of 3,800 feet). This 520 acre oasis used to be a working ranch – now it’s a public cultural and recreational attraction.
Palm Valley Golf Course: If you want a player-friendly, yet challenging golf course (plus a short drive from home), then this is your course. Designed by golfers for golfers of all skill levels, this course will satisfy your golf appetite.
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.
