Review:

Lake Mead National Recreation Area is located in southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. It follows the Colorado River from the boundary of Grand Canyon National Park to the cities of Nevada, Laughlin, and Bullhead City.

It includes all of Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, both created by building Hoover Dam and Davis Dam, and the surrounding desert and wilderness.

This vast 1.5 million acre park offers plenty of things to do for boaters, swimmers, sunbathers, and fishermen on the water and for hikers, wildlife photographers, and sightseers in the desert. The park includes three of America's desert ecosystems – the Sonoran Deserts, the Mojave, and the Great Basin, providing home to a surprising variety of plants and animals, some of which do not live anywhere else in the world.
