Good News - As of July, 2008
Lake Powell at 90 plus % of
Capacity
With the increased snow pack
on the Western side of the Rocky Mountain Range from this last
winter, the water levels at both Glen Canyon Dam and Hoover Dam
will maintain a level above previous grim projections.
Lake Powell Concessionaires announced that the lake water
passage around Castle Rock has been re-opened this summer due to
the anticipated rise in water levels from snow pack running from
the Colorado river into Lake Powell. Lake Powell reports a
90+ percentage in Lake level capacity with a current elevation
level holding at 3363ft.
We sure hope it snows
again like this on the Western Rockies in the coming winter as
this will have a positive effect on lake water levels at both
Lake Powell and Lake Mead next year.
See you at the Lake...!!!

Service to re-open this Marina.
Use Echo Bay as an

Echo Bay,
Temple Bar, Calville Bay, Lake Mead & 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.

OVERTON BEACH
MARINA SERVICES ARE CLOSED...!!!!! The launch ramp is
now closed as the water level is less than 1 foot deep. The
resident National Park Ranger is maintaining only the
portable restrooms now in the parking lot, the fish cleaning station
& RV Dump Station. There are no plans
currently by the National Park Service to re-open this
marina.

Fuel, ice, and other supplies on the
Overton arm of Lake Mead can be purchased
in the towns of Logandale & Overton or at Echo Bay Marina. All services at Echo Bay
Marina are open so plan to drive just
20 minutes South on the North Shore Lake Road and
continue to enjoy all that Lake Mead National Recreation
Area still has to offer.
