About Lake Mead

Lake Mead is the reservoir behind Hoover Dam, inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area. A park entrance fee applies, separate from your rental or cruise. Callville Bay rents pontoons, ski boats and fishing boats by the day. The paddlewheel cruises run sightseeing and dinner trips on the lake near Boulder City.

Before you book

• Spring weekends, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day are the busiest times on the river. Book rentals a week or more ahead for those dates.
• Summer afternoons are often well over 100°F. Bring more water than you think you need, and go early or late in the day.
• Prices change by date and boat. The Book button shows the real price for your date.
• Most boat rentals need a driver who is at least 21, and most jet ski rentals need a driver who is at least 18. Check each listing.
