Lake Mead Tours

Lake Mead is in a beautiful desert environment with over 550 miles of shoreline when full. The lake is made up of 5 sections of basins and arms as described below. It offers a variety of boating, skiing, swimming, fishing, photography, and sightseeing opportunities. Lake Mead’s surrounding desert offers many hiking trails and occasional opportunities for wildlife photography. Lake Mead is one of the largest man made lakes in the world with over 157,000 acres of water (247 sq. mi.). When full it can hold over 28 million acre-feet of water (9 trillion gallons), the equivalent to about 2 years of normal average river flow from the Colorado River. Best of all it’s a water skiers haven with glassy water conditions very common in the morning and late afternoon.
