Places on the Way to Vegas You've Always Wanted to Go, but too Afraid...

If you've driven from Southern California to Las Vegas, chances are you've probably seen the abandoned amusement park north of Baker. For off-the-grid explores, go to Google Maps and search Lake Dolores Waterpark for directions.

Formerly known as Rock-A-Hoola Water Park, this site is popular among skaters, photographers and curious lurkers. Although the property is fenced, it's easily accessible through the park's exit which is guarded by boulders to keep cars from passing through.


The welcoming dilapidated billboard now serves as a canvas for graffiti.


Be prepared for strong desert winds! Bring your sunglasses to shield your eyes from the dirt. It's impressive that these palm trees have outlived the park.


Photo opportunities abound! Make sure your phone is charged up with enough storage space.
