Lake Mead

Lake Mead
Lake Mead Recreation Area was created by the erec-tion of Hoover Dam. It is the biggest man made lake and reservoir in the United States. However, be-cause of the droughts that plague the desert here, the Lake is 60 feet below normal level. Now, Lake Mead has a very noticeable white “bathtub ring” that circles the lake.
Lake Mead is a good way to cool off from the hot Las Vegas sun. It’s cheap, fun, and exciting. With its beach-like atmosphere, you can swim, boat, wa-ter-ski, wake-board, and just enjoy the water.
