Save Lake Mead

Lake Mead Needs Your Help,
Concerned Boater / Moorage Customer / Lake Mead User / Enjoyer of Lake Mead NRA:

WHAT’S GOING ON

The National Park Service (NPS) and Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) are planning for future management and use of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Last fall, both organizations sought public comment on a series of questions and held several public meetings. 

Now, thanks to the NPS, your voice was heard. Together, we expressed concerns about access to launch ramps and marinas, the future of motorized boating, current concessions and commercial services, infrastructure, visitor experiences, etc.

The NPS read through your comments and drafted 3 alternative plans to help support recreation at Lake Mead. Alternative 1 is the preferred plan.

The NPS hosted 3 public informational meetings in July. Now, the public is urged to submit a comment on Alternative 1. Public comment closes August. 4th.

To answer some of your most common concerns: 

  • – The marinas are not closing. Las Vegas Boat Harbor, Lake Mead Marina, Callville Bay and Temple Bar all have low water contingency plans.
  • – Although we prefer higher water, Lake Mead at 1,045-foot elevation is still the largest man-made reservoir in the country, with Lake Powell right behind it. This lake level actually allows for better beaches.
  • – The BoatingLakeMead team has started a coalition with other boat dealers to help fight for what we all love.

We, as boaters, must come together to have our voices heard. Boating is essential and access needs to be maintained now and in the future.
