Lake Mead National Recreation Area covers about 1,500,000 acres in Arizona, Nevada and California. This page concerns itself with the National Recreation Area north of Hoover Dam. This is Lake Mead itself, and the water levels in Lake Mead vary year by year. Between May, 2000 and May, 2003, the mean elevation of the lake surface dropped by 60 feet. That left a "bathtub ring" around the lake, the top of that ring being the previous high water mark. |
