Warning!
It has been reported that Lake Mead Park Rangers have randomly been patrolling the area and issuing $250 Federal citations.
If you come across one, please be sure to ask them who complained and why they are not giving you a warning first and are violating the NPS' "Cahill Policy".
Area Weather:
The nude beach area:
Las Vegas has a nude straight & gay beach at Lake Mead. I have not been to the beach often, but I understand it is crowded on summertime weekends.
From Downtown LV area:
Drive North to Lake Mead Bl. in North Las Vegas. This is NOT the same Lake Mead Drive as in Henderson. Drive East, past Hollywood Blvd., through the pass at Sunrise Mountain, and about 10 miles to a stop sign at an intersection/fork to Overton & Hoover Dam. Turn left/North here.
From the South side of the valley:
Take Freeway/Boulder Highway (South) to Lake Mead Drive in Henderson. Turn left (East) at the red light onto E. Lake Mead Drive/Route 147, and go 3 or 4 miles to a left (North) onto the road to Calville Bay.
Continuing from either direction:
After passing the Government Boat Launch area on the right, proceed 3 miles to a right onto 8.0 Mile Road (IE: The road at the 8th mile marker, exactly 4.8 miles later from the Overton/Hoover Dam fork). Proceed about 2.5 miles on this gravel road taking EVERY left when the road forks, until you reach the parking area. From the parking area it is about 500 yards to the beach, following the trails up the North side of the parking area and out a ways (about a 5 min. hike).
The Park Service opened a dam in Colorado this spring and the water level in Lake Mead is up 8 to 10 feet (slowly receding to about 5 feet) and the "old" beach is covered. However, there is still plenty of room.
The protocol is still gays to the left and straights to the right. Take a chaise or at least a pad or something as there is NO sand on this beach!
