Five Restaurants To Try Near Lake Mead This Weekend | Eater Vegas

"From I-93 it appears like an apparition — a dazzling splash of blue in the desert — and at roughly a half-hour from the Strip the 1.5 million-acre Lake Mead National Recreation Area offers beaches, marinas, campgrounds and plenty of ways to get on or into the water. I found it an impressive reminder that it’s not always necessary to drive to Los Angeles to see water: you can kayak the Colorado River through the Black Canyon, swim at Boulder Beach, and spend time among black lava rock and cool cerulean water as a hiker, fisher, boater or sunbather." - Krista Diamond

Have not been back to Katherine's Landing since the mid-90s! The out houses are a nice addition! Regular maintenance! The launch ramp is a little crowded at times, and the boom box speakers on the boats tied to the beachs were too loud! At 73, I guess I'm getting too old! In the 70s it was quiet! Great memories though. Bring back the "River Rat" logo on the T-shirts!

We used Veterans Kayaking Tours with Griff and went 4 miles on the river. The area was beautiful and very well kept. Recommend a stop in. Boulder City on the way!

An amazing and scenic area in Nevada! It is my first time in Nevada and Arizona and the Lake Mead NRA was on top of my list to visit. The drive is stunning with plenty of scenic overlooks. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area!

Kinda stinky. But the best outdoor place with water and halfway decent people. Watch out for dead animals.

Went to see the new bridge over the damn and to see how low the water is. I was there 20 years ago and the lake was full, now it's pretty low but still a lot of water. The new bridge is very fascinating, when you are driving over the bridge you don't even know it. To see it you need to go to the damn and park then walk around to get the aww of it.

This was such an incredible experience visiting the Hoover Dam. It is truly inspiring to see what Americans are capable of achieving when we work together with a clear goal, plan, and mission. This is a clear example of the great things the US Government does for its citizens.

We drove along the scenic route and as of 10/11/25 the tolls were not in use. Not sure, we arent locals but it sure was convenient. Absolutely beautiful drive. If you're leaving Vegas, i'd recommend this drive so you can see the lake and make little stops along the scenic lookouts. Keep an eye out for Sunset Lookout. That was THE BEST stop we found.
