OVERTON BEACH
SERVICES REMAIN CLOSED...!!
The lake level is dry all across
the Overton Beach Marina bay. This photo shows only water
flowing slowly from the Muddy & Virgin Rivers into Lake Mead
which is now just North of Ann Margaret Beach, North of
Stewart's Point. There are no current plans by the National Park
Service to re-open this Marina. The Gate is closed and no
longer allows access to the Marina property at all.

& Updates ~
****************************************
Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge Update
It's done and open..!!!
Although you cannot see Hoover Dam while driving over the
new bypass bridge, it is stable and easy for travel on
Highway 93 providing no more traffic backups near the dam.
Traffic is however an issue from Boulder City out to the new
section of highway, so plan for delays, especially on
weekends or during high traffic times coming out of Boulder
City. Pedestrians can walk on the new Bypass Bridge
and get a fantastic view of Hoover Dam after exiting the
highway and driving to the designated parking area on the
"old" road leading to Hoover Dam. Visitors can still
drive on the Dam or park and walk to see this amazing
destination.
****************************************
Echo Bay Launch Update
Echo Bay Marina is open with current, temporary, launching located
at the end of a side dirt road leading to a small turn around
area, 2 steep dirt launch lanes and a small courtesy dock just
across from the fuel dock. Parking is back up near the
original launch ramp and is quite a walk. It is also a
long walk to get around to the main dock, store and slips, all
located on the opposite side of the inlet, but they are working
on these issues to make conditions better for everyone.
Echo Bay Marina is continuing efforts to
complete an additional new deep water concrete launch ramp
separate from the original launch ramp which is currently dry
and closed due to low water level conditions. The dock
side store and fuel dock are open daily, but the motel and
restaurant remain closed.
Recently under new ownership of Forever Resorts, Echo Bay Resort &
Marina is being renovated, the Marina has been moved permanently
to deeper water and upgrades to the property continue.
****************************************
Calville Bay Marina is open with great full
services available and a NEW Launch Ramp. It's a great place to camp or launch
your vessel into the Boulder Basin side of Lake Mead.
Both
Calville Bay and Temple Bar Marinas run a shuttle service on
weekends from the store to the lake side Marina for your
convenience.
****************************************
Hemmingway Harbor & Lake Mead Marina are
now accessible from the same road located just inside the
National Park near Boulder City & Hoover Dam. Both Marinas
have good launching and full services available.

Echo Bay,
Temple Bar, Calville Bay, Lake Mead (now Boulder Marina) & Hemmingway
Harbor Marinas are all open and have good launch
conditions. All Lake Mead Marina Concessionaires
are doing a great job of maintaining launch ramps in
spite of fluctuating water levels. Come see what
Lake Mead has to offer. Some lake area depths are
still over 300 feet deep providing deep, clean clear
water, great for boating, fishing, skiing, wakeboarding
or just relaxing on the water. Come join us at
Lake Mead for a really great summer of fun & sun.
