Before you start your adventure, stop by the Lake Mead Visitor Center. Whether you have one hour or one week, rangers and volunteers will help you plan an unforgettable trip. In addition to grabbing maps and brochures, you can get your National Park passport stamp or become a junior ranger. The Western National Parks Association operates the park store from within the center. It's stocked with books about the park and the region, Native American arts, jewelry and crafts, posters, outerwear and more.

Getting there

From Boulder City take U.S. Highway 93 south to Lakeshore Road. Turn left onto Lakeshore Road and the visitor center will be on your right in approximately 1/4 mile.
