NPS/A. Harrison Ready, Set, LaunchLaunch ramps within Lake Mead National Recreation Area provide essential access for boating and water activities on Lakes Mead and Mohave and the Colorado River. Designed for ease of use, these ramps offer a smooth transition from land to water, accommodating various types of watercraft. These ramps ensure a convenient and efficient start to your on-the-water adventures, allowing you to fully enjoy the expansive lake and its recreational opportunities.Water LevelsDeclining water levels in Lake Mead, caused by climate change and a 20-year drought, have reshaped the park's shorelines. As the lake continues to recede, extending launch ramps becomes increasingly challenging and costly due to the changing topography and further projected declines. Water levels are managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. |
