I was in Vegas over the weekend and decided to visit the lake, looking for launch sites for this summer, I had never been there before.
The lake is down about 110feet according to the park ranger. The valley of Las Vegas is draining it faster than the snow melt can keep up. Still a very large body of water but shrinking every year. I think he said they had to move the main marina 3 times over the years so the moored boat would still be in water.
Anyway looking for some advice on a good place to take my little 15ft O.B.
The ranger suggested Cottonwood Cove which is not even on Lake Mead but further south on the river.
I got a few maps from the rangers and I was surprised how much is there. One could spend an entire summer exploring all that shore line.
