Rangers recover body of Henderson man, 25, from Lake Mohave

The body of a Henderson man who was presumed drowned in Lake Mohave nine days ago was found Tuesday morning, the National Park Service said.

A visitor contacted the park service about 6:45 a.m. after seeing human remains floating in Nevada Bay on Lake Mohave, Lake Mead National Recreation Area spokesman Kevin Turner said.

The park service confirmed the body was that of Andre Battle, 25, who went missing Aug. 7.

Officials suspect Battle drowned, but the Clark County Coroner’s Office will determine the official cause of death, Turner said.

Battle was in a group that boated from Cottonwood Cove about 2 1/2 miles north to Arizona Bay on the Arizona side of Lake Mohave. A witness told officials that Battle was in the water for two to three minutes, then was heard saying he couldn’t breathe.

The witness said she turned away for a moment, then Battle was gone when she turned back around.

Battle wasn’t wearing a life jacket. The water depth in the area ranges from 80 to 100 feet, park officials said.

The bay where Battle’s body was found is north of the area where he went missing.

Las Vegas parks and recreation and Nevada National Parks

Las Vegas is known for its casinos, wild nightlife, gambling, girls and shows; but the greater Las Vegas area offers much more. From hiking, biking and horseback riding to amazing Nevada National Parks, lakes and canyons, the Las Vegas area is a recreational playground. Whether you have an afternoon to spare or a weekend, there are plenty of Las Vegas outdoor activities for everyone. After spending the week drinking and gambling in dark casinos, a little exercise and sunshine can do you some good and Nevada National Parks will offer just that.

Red Rock Canyon

Only 20 miles from downtown Las Vegas, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area covers nearly 200,000 acres of multicolored sandstone and limestone, canyons, mountains, washes and waterfalls, a variety of desert flora and fauna, and wildlife, including bobcats, desert bighorn sheep and wild burros. I don't know how "wild" the burros actually are though. While hiking, biking, rock climbing and seasonal camping is offered, the most popular choice is the 13-mile scenic drive through the park. Whether you spend the afternoon or weekend, Red Rock Canyon offers up natural scenic beauty and is worth the visit.

Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam

Lake Mead is the perfect place to cool off from the summer heat. Located 25 miles east of Vegas, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area has about 1.5 million acres of desert land and clear water, with 550 miles of shoreline for swimming, boating, sunbathing, water skiing and fishing. Other activities include hiking, camping, horseback riding, roadside sightseeing and wildlife photography. Lake Mead wildlife include bighorn sheep, mule deer, coyotes, kit foxes, bobcats, ringtail cats, jack rabbits and the endangered desert tortoise and peregrine falcons. The amazing Hoover Dam is also nearby with daily tours.
