Discover Temple Bar

Temple Bar is located in the Temple Basin on the Arizona side of eastern Lake Mead. The area around Temple Bar is especially well known for two things: the massive rock formation that gave the area its name and its 20 mile-long unobstructed water ski runs that have every water sports enthusiast rushing to grab a lifejacket and a rope! Temple Bar Marina has all the fun and amenities that you'd expect from Lake Mead.
