On September 14, 1974, a flash flood roared down Eldorado Canyon and swept Nelson's Landing marina into Lake Mohave. Forty-one people escaped in time, but nine others drowned. A cloudburst followed the line of the stream and moved right down the landing, and the U.S. Geological Survey said 5.12 inches of rain fell in the canyon that day. The flood carried 38 vehicles, 23 boats, boat slips, trailers, cabins, a restaurant, and a store into the lake.
