Where should I go Boating?

Lake Mead
Lake Mead extends for 112 miles beyond Hoover Dam, and is the largest reservoir in the US. It’s a beautiful body of water surrounded by red cliffs and canyons, perfect for exploring by boat or experiencing a Lake Mead jet ski adventure.

  • Location: You’ll find Lake Mead southeast of Las Vegas on the Colorado River and north of Kingman, Arizona off of Highway 93.
  • Seasons: Lake Mead is open and accessible all year.
  • Marina/Boat Launch: There are five marinas where you can launch your boat and three separate launch ramps – Calville Bay and Echo Bay Marinas are on the north side of the reservoir. South Cove and Boulder Harbor launch ramps, Lake Mead and Temple Bar Marinas and the Las Vegas Boat Harbor are all on the south side of Lake Mead. You will also find the ideal Lake Mead boat rental at any of the marinas.
  • Boat Restrictions: The only requirement for boats currently on Lake Mead is that all boats must be registered and display the numbers properly on the hull, with valid registration records on the vessel.
  • Camping: Five campgrounds along the shores provide plenty of sites, some with RV sites with full hookups.
