Lake Mead National Recreation Area will close the boat launch ramp at Echo Bay on Wednesday, May 11 due to low water levels at Lake Mead, according to a National Park Service press release sent out on Friday, May 6.
The Echo Bay launch ramp was constructed for boat launching down to a lake level elevation of 1,060 feet. It has been extended in the past to accommodate recreational boating access.
