A friend of mine told me about what a great time she had at Lake Mead and I was really looking forward to spending a nice half day there. Unfortunately, they said due to the wind that they could only rent certain boats and that we could only stay in one small area. I understand that this could be a... More

We called past the boat ramp after we visited Hoover Dam. We got to feed the hundreds of HUGE hungry catfish on the pier - they were quite funny and entertaining for the kids. Hubby got to check out some of the boats on the marina and then we drove around the a small part of the lake to see... More

Make sure to get a boat ride somehow through the lake. A beautiful site. The National Recreation Area Visitor center is worth the stop. There is information on the lake, and area wildlife. Good photo spot of lake from parking lot. It is also near Hoover Dam, so you can stop.

Not a boater but that fact does not lessen the enjoyment of this place. Its a great place to have a picnic and enjoy the views of the lake. It also has some amazing geology to be viewed especially along the Northshore Road. People often take this route to return to Las Vegas valley when exiting Valley of Fire State... More

We love going to Lake Mead to camp, fish, swim, stand-up paddle, boat, hike, explore, etc... We feel so lucky that we have this great area so near to where we live. We have spent many days visiting different parts of Lake Mead. We have been out on our wave runner all over the lake and have had a blast!... More

Lake Mead N.R.A. is more than about the water. I was pleasantly surprised to what I was about to see, as this was the first time I had entered from the North Entrance, I thought I would see just Lake Mead. After traveling a short time, the well paved highway came upon some of the best scenery you could ever... More

Although you will not see it advertised anywhere, you can drive to Lake Mead and feed the catfish that are in the water off of the marina and boat docks at Lake Mead. Lake Mead is a 45 minute drive from the strip and well worth the drive. One day admission is $10 per passenger vehicle and your admission ticket... More

This lake is beautiful and great escape from the heat in Las Vegas. Make sure to bring some bread or food with you for the fish. I`m attaching few pictures but you must see this and experience it itself.

Lake Mead is beautiful place to take a break from the craziness of Las Vegas. A lot of wildlife to see, be careful driving sometimes nature is standing in the middle of the road. The people who work at the lake are very friendly. This is a great day trip for families, couples or just by yourself. Nice view of... More
