LAKE MEAD NEEDS YOUR HELP!

WHAT’S GOING ON

The National Park Service (NPS) and Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) are planning for future management and use. There are currently 2 planning processes that are interrelated, and Lake Mead users are urged to submit feedback on both processes.

  • 1. NPS is seeking public comment on a series of questions. They’ve also held several public meetings. Comments must be submitted by Friday, Dec. 23rd. Comment here!
  • 2. BOR is accepting public comment on a released statement to address low water levels in reservoirs, such as Lake Mead.

Again, both processes are interrelated, and it’s critical we respond to both as the organizations are working together to determine the future of Lake Mead and its recreational use.

To answer some of your most common concerns:

  • – The marinas are not closing. Las Vegas Boat Harbor, Lake Mead Marina, Callville Bay and Temple Bar all have low water contingency plans.
  • – Although we prefer higher water, Lake Mead at 1,045-foot elevation is still the largest man-made reservoir in the country, with Lake Powell right behind it. This lake level actually allows for better beaches.
  • – The BoatingLakeMead team has started a coalition with other boat dealers to help fight for what we all love.

We, as boaters, must come together to have our voices heard. Boating is essential and access needs to be maintained now and in the future.
