America’s largest reservoir, Lake Mead was created by the damming of the Colorado River near Las Vegas. At 112 miles long at full capacity, the lake is a popular area for tourists looking for outdoor recreation and adventure off the Strip. Lake Mead offers opportunity for kayaking and canoeing, as well as sport fishing, hiking and swimming.

Created when Glen Canyon was dammed and flooded in 1966, Lake Powell is the state’s second largest man-made lake (the first is Lake Mead at Hoover Dam). The lake gets its water from the Colorado River and several of its tributaries. When full, it is 560 feet deep and 186 miles long. With deep, calm waters and more than 161,000 acres of surface area, Lake Powell has become one of the Arizona’s top destinations for fishing and other water recreation.
