Things to Do  
Discover the Visitor CenterBefore you start your adventure, stop by the Lake Mead Visitor Center. Whether you have one hour or one week, rangers and volunteers will help you plan an unforgettable trip. In addition to grabbing maps and brochures, you can get your National Park passport stamp or become a junior ranger.
Stop inside the exhibit room to view a large relief map of the entire park, learn about the animals that make Lake Mead their home and watch the park's award-winning film, "Life in the Desert." The Western National Parks Association operates the park store from within the visitor center. It's stocked with books about the park and the region; Native American arts, jewelry and crafts; posters; outerwear; postcards and maps. Purchases are tax free and support park educational programs.
