Mojave River Junction

The Mojave River Junction equestrian facility is just 6 scenic miles along the Mojave River from the Hesperia Lake Park equestrian facilities, and riders can continue along the trail another 5 miles north to the Mojave Narrows County Regional Park. It provides a place to take a break on a trail ride, the starting point of a ride, or somewhere to hold an activity in its entirety. Along with 12 corrals, a hitching rail, and picnic tables, it offers a 2,000 square foot indoor space to get out of the elements, hold meetings or dances, enjoy meals, and more.

In 1870, road maker John Brown enlarged the detour which with time became a major thoroughfare. Padre Graces, Jed Smith, Kit Carson, and the Mormon Battalion (with first known vehicle to have crossed the desert) passed this location. Susan Davis, wife of Battalion officer Daniel Davis, was part of this group. She was the first woman to have crossed this trail.
