Current Conditions2024 seasonal trail closures are in affect at this time.To help keep visitors and outdoor recreators safe during the record high temperature summer months, Lake Mead National Recreation Area institutes seasonal closures to certain strenuous areas and park trails from May 15, 2024 – September 30, 2024. The following areas are closed at this time:
BE AWARE:Historic Railroad Trail & River Mountains Loop Trail- These are two maintained trails without rough terrain. SUMMER: This trail remains open, however plan your hike only for the early morning hours and return to your car before 10 a.m. Declining water levels due to climate change and 20 years of ongoing drought have reshaped the park’s shorelines. As Lake Mead continues to recede, extending launch ramps becomes more difficult and more expensive due to the topography and projected decline in water levels. Lake Mead National Recreation Area encourages visitors to plan ahead and stay informed by checking current conditions and alerts.
