Lake Mead offers year-round recreation in spectacular scenery with amazing opportunities like boating, fishing, hiking, picnicking and now Waterblading. Lake Mead is home to a great amount of desert plants and animals that have adapted to little rain and high summer temperatures. We love to hop on our Waterblade and cruise around in this lake through the hot summer days. Because of Lake Mead’s broad expanses of water, water skiing, kayaking, and canoeing are also among the favorite activities at the lake. I so enjoy how Lake Mead National recreation area provides shaded picnic areas with all the necessities to have a great day at the lake, including tables, water, fire grills and restrooms. It makes my day at the lake so much fun. Driving the several paved roads winding through a unique desert scenery of mountains, plateaus, and basins of cacti is so relaxing and beautiful. We had the best day at Lake Mead grilling burgers by the lake, watching the sunset, playing with the ducks and riding our Waterblade. Absolutely beautiful!
