Gregg Basin Glass

Some of the best water is located at the east end of Lake Mead in the Gregg Basin, where South Cove ramp is located near Meadview.  There are a couple of reasons for such nice water.  First, fewer people visit this part of the lake because of it's remote location.  Second, the higher cliffs of the mountains can protect the water from potential wind.  It's definitely the place to go to water-ski, camp on the lake, or sightsee, especially if you're staying more than a weekend.    The fishing is good too!  Anyone that knows the area will tell you it's the best kept secret on the lake..... but don't tell anyone, OK?

Glass conditions are almost guaranteed in the morning and expected in the late afternoon in the East Lake area.  But even at mid-day with moderate wind you can always find coves and channels that are vacant and sheltered to accommodate smooth water-play.

These pictures above and below were taken in the north end of Gregg Basin.  Near glass conditions, don't ya just love it?

The picture below was taken on the south side of Sand Point, a popular beach for houseboats because of the nice sand beaches and crystal clear water.
