Lake Mead  This is the lake behind Hoover Dam. It is the world's largest artificial body of water, when you consider volume. You can rent a houseboat, fish, water ski, jet ski, take a cruise. All kinds of stuff. It is very picturesque. There is a road that takes you all around the Nevada side of the lake. There are several bays and landings that you can gain access to the lake. Some are: Boulder Beach, Hemingway Harbor, Vegas Wash, Callville Bay, Overton Beach, and Echo Bay. You can take a paddle wheel boat from Vegas Wash and the boat will take you up to the back side of Hoover Dam. Echo Bay features a hotel, restaurant and a place to feed the fish. Feeding the fish may sound boring, but if you want to see what a feeding frenzy is all about, stop at the store, buy a bag of popcorn and feed the carp. Scary!
