Lake Mead Visitor Center

Lake Mead Visitor Center is the perfect place to start your adventure in Lake Mead National Park. The center offers fascinating displays with a three-dimensional map of the lake and exhibits about the local wildlife and cultural history of the region.

You'll watch the award-winning film 'Life in the Desert' in a small cinema, and the gift store features maps, books and Native American handicrafts. A botanical garden with cacti and desert plants will let you learn about the local flora.

The center is the starting point for three easy pet-friendly trails, including the Historic Rail Trail - perfect for a family stroll.
