Antares is an unincorporated community and census designated place (CDP) in Mohave County, Arizona, United States.

[6] The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad was laying tracks through the area in 1883 and had to reroute around the Peacock Mountains, diverting south of the mountains to the easier gradient through nearby Hackberry; when continuing west, the gradient was lower in the Hualapai Valley 6 miles (10 km) to the north of Hackberry, where Antares now lies.

[5] Antares was first recorded as a "town and railroad station" in the United States Geological Survey of 1923.

The Antares census-designated place encompasses 0.65 square miles (1.7 km2) of land,[1] and is at 3,556 feet (1,084 m) elevation above sea level.

It runs from Route 66 heading roughly northwest until it meets Pierce Ferry Road, giving access to Meadview and the Colorado River at Lake Mead.

[20][21][22] The local airport, Music Mountain Air Ranch, operates two dirt runways, both of which had become overgrown by 2004.

The Valle Vista District Fire Station #2 is located on Antares Road, half a mile north of State Route 66.

[6][29] The site also features the "Giganticus Headicus" attraction, a 14-foot-tall (4.3 m) homemade monument resembling the Easter Island heads.

[20] The RV park is isolated, bracketed between the Peacock Mountains and Route 66 and the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway, which run parallel; it began as a camp for railroad workers in the early 1900s.

A local legend claims that Gene Roddenberry stayed at the motel and named the Antares ship in Star Trek after its location.
