Everyone is Welcome

Lake Mead National Recreation Area strives to be inclusive and welcoming.

Many park facilities and programs meet accessibility standards. However, we have identified some accessibility barriers and are working on practical solutions for removing them to improve accessibility for all visitors.

Park staff are also actively working to improve accessibility in other ways, including training staff to interact with and support visitors with disabilities, providing alternate formats of brochures and working with concessioners to improve their facilities and ensure programs are accessible.

Staff is committed to all visitors and continually works to ensure everyone is allowed the same access to and afforded the same experience at each park area.

 

Access Pass

U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States that have been medically determined to have a permanent disability (does not have to be a 100% disability) may get a free, lifetime pass that provides admittance to more than 2,000 recreation sites managed by five Federal agencies, including Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Access Passes are available online and at Lake Mead's entrance stations.

Required documentation: A copy of ID issued by an authorized U.S. agency such as your driver's license, passport or state-issued ID and documentation that proves permanent disability such as:

  • Statement by a licensed physician (Statement must include: that the individual has a PERMANENT disability, that it limits one or more aspects of their daily life, and the nature of those limitations.)
  • Document issued by Federal agency such as the Veteran's Administration, Social Security Disability Income or Supplemental Security Income
  • Document issued by a state agency such as a vocational rehabilitation agency

Improving Access For All

In 2019, the National Park Service prepared an Accessibility Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan for Lake Mead National Recreation Area. While physical accessibility to park facilities and programs was generally found to meet accessibility standards, there is still room to improve. Below are some of the projects we've been working on to make Lake Mead more accessible for all. If you have additional questions, please call us at 702-293-8990 or send us an email. We hope you enjoy your visit.
