Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada, Arizona
Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers a wealth of things
to do and places to go year-round. Its huge lakes cater to
boaters, swimmers, sunbathers, and fishermen while its desert
rewards hikers, wildlife photographers, and roadside
sightseers. It is also home to thousands of desert plants and
animals, adapted to survive in an extreme place where rain is
scarce and temperatures soar.
Low Water
Lakes Mead and Mohave are reservoirs created by Hoover and
Davis Dam. About 96 percent of the water in Lake Mead is from
melted snow that fell in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and
Wyoming. If there are several consecutive years where
outflow exceeds inflow, Lake Mead water levels will lower.

One of the many aspects of the Lake Mead National Recreation
people come just to relax in the land of the sun. Refugees from
states hit hard by winter's icy clutch often flee to this area to
spend a mild winter. Sunbathers and water skiers spend
summers here to toast in the 110 degree F plus temperatures.
The area generally has less than five inches of annual rainfall.
Water temperatures may range from 45 degrees F. to 85
degrees F.
Attracted at first by the cool, refreshing water, visitors find
other unexpected rewards. The quiet, stark beauty of the
Mojave Desert with its dramatic exposed geology and the
suprising abundance of specially adapted plant and animals
offers a variety of experiences for everyone.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area is a startling contrast of
desert and water, mountains and canyons, primitive
backcountry, and busy marinas. Dams that back up the
Colorado River as it flows through one of the hottest, driest
regions on earth created Lake Mead and Lake Mohave.
Established as America's first national recreation area, it is a
destination for millions of visitors who flock to the desert for
boating, fishing, swimming and water-skiing.
