Lake Mead is a fascinating sight with the contrast between this large body of water and the surrounding stark desert scenery. However, it is now quite an eerie sight when you see the dramatic drop in…Full review by TravelingSoccerLoon

I will be visiting Lake Mead in May and bringing my motor boat. My boat is registered in New Mexico, do I need to register it in Arizona as well?
A:
I am sorry I do not have an answer for you. I am do not live in Nevada. I would think you should contact your local boat association to check state requirements
We'll be visiting at the early June. Looking to paddle board & Kayak, looking towards northern Lake Mead around Echo Bay/Overton area. Is it open? Never been to the northern part of Lake Mead, but it looks like there are 2 marinas overton and echo bay]. Is there access to the lake in that area? are they open? If we stay in overton whats the closest point we could have beach access? traveling with dog, so we need a house or cabin or small resort that accepts pets. Any help would be appreciated.

Echo Bay will reopen beginning Memorial Day but service hours will be limited. Overton Beach has been and still is closed. The entire recreation area is mostly open to visitors but …
Echo Bay will reopen beginning Memorial Day but service hours will be limited. Overton Beach has been and still is closed. The entire recreation area is mostly open to visitors but services are severely limited. So bring what you need. Kayak rentals are available at Willow Beach on the Arizona side heading south on Highway 93. Overton has a couple of trailer parks and a motel. Mesquite, Henderson and Boulder City are other options for losging.
My hasband and I are planning a weekend at Hoover Dam lodge and want to know what type of activities are available from there. We like hiking, biking and rafting. We would prefer not having to drive anywhere once we arrive. Looking for ideas.
A:
check the local chamber of commerce or municipal office.

It varies depending on which side of Lake Meade you are looking to go. It’s about an hour from Vegas if you stay on the Nevada side. If you drive another 30 mins or so you will pass over the Colorado River and through the Hoover Dam into Arizona and that part of the Lake Meade Rec Area. Your choice, can’t go wrong either way but I do recommend checking out the Hoover Dam if you are that close!
