Water Activities in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, a desert city in Nevada, might seem like an unlikely destination for water activities. However, there are several options to enjoy the water in this vibrant city.

Lake Mead

• Located just 30 minutes east of Las Vegas Strip
• Offers swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding
• Various boat rentals available on site
• No need for a car rental as it’s easily accessible by bus or taxi

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

• About 20 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip
• Features a natural red rock formation with several hiking trails
• Kayaking and paddleboarding are allowed in the creek, but no swimming is permitted
• Bring plenty of water as it can get hot quickly
