Lake Mead Marinas and Launch Ramps

Lake Mead has radically changed with water levels over the last 5yrs.  But although some of the launch ramps and marina locations have closed, there is still plenty of water to enjoy just like before, it's just a little different. 

This map is intended to provide relative locations of marinas and launch ramps.    It is not intended as a navigation tool, only to orient and familiarize the reader with Lake Mead's structure of Basins and Arms.   Marinas listed above in red text have launch ramps and various services (outlined in chart below).    Launch ramp ONLY sites (no services) are listed above in blue text.   All launch ramps are free after you pay the national park entrance fee.

The list below are all the launch locations in the 4 different regions of Lake Mead.  Launch sites below in green are "shallow launch" sites, suitable for PWC and light boats only.  The lack of angle of the gravel launch area requires backing into the water more than usual, and then lifting the PWC or boat may be necessary.   For more detailed map pages for launch locations click the regional map links.
