Lake Mead National Recreation Area - Activities

Home > Lake Mead > Planning > Activities

Several paved roads wind through the dramatic desert scenery of Lake Mead NRA country. Towering stark mountains, plateaus, desert basins of cactuses and creosote bush, and vertical-walled canyons are some of the sights motorists can discover. Shaded picnic areas with tables, water, fire grills, and restrooms are located throughout the area. Short desert hikes lead to places you will never see from a boat or car. Longer hikes demand careful planning; consult a topographical map and a park ranger. Always carry water; one gallon per day per person is advised.

With Lakes Mead and Mohave as the central focus, visitors to Lake Mead NRA may enjoy a variety of water recreation activities in a rugged and picturesque setting. Lakes Mead and Mohave offer some of the country"s best sport fishing. Boating, waterskiing are favorite activities on the broad expanses of open water, along with kayaking and canoeing.
