Fishing

Fishing is a year-round activity at Lake Mead; each season bringing its own exciting opportunities.

Due to low water conditions, Hemeway Harbor no longer has a fishing pier, however shore fishing at Hemenway Fishing Point is allowed in the designated area marked by bouys.

In order to be considered wading, a person fishing must be standing with their feet on the bottom and not capable of free flotation through the use of any device. As water recedes, be aware of the potential for soft mud.

All other water-oriented activities, such as boating, fishing from vessels and floating devices, swimming, snorkeling, and SCUBA diving, are prohibited in this designated area.

Fishing equipment, bait and supplies are available at the marina store. A convenient fish cleaning station is located at the top of the launch ramp parking lot.

Beaches & Coves

Boulder Beach has a variety of multi-use beaches, including a swim beach popular for families and triathletes alike. The surface is graded regularly, but tends to be rocky. Be aware that as the lake levels get lower silty mud becomes exposed and people and vehicles have been known to get stuck. Always carefully test the ground before committing - even if it looks dry on top.

To the south, visitors can setup for the day with their watercraft and enjoy boating in the Boulder Basin.

Open dawn till dusk.
