The Bitter Spring Valley is a 13-mile (21 km) long[1] valley located northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada on the west edge of Lake Mead, on the north-trending Overton Arm, (of the Virgin River, and Meadow Valley Wash).

The valley is a small valley basin located between two bordering mountain ranges. The Bitter Spring Wash exits east-northeastwards into the Overton Arm of Lake Mead, at Echo Bay, Nevada. The Valley of Fire State Park lies adjacent north, on the north side of the Muddy Mountains. An unimproved route, named Bitter Spring Trail traverses the Muddy Mountains and the valley from paved routes from Echo Bay to Valley of Fire Highway, and Interstate 15.
