Powerline Crossing Weir

Powerline Crossing Weir

The Powerline Crossing Weir is the lowest weir within the Wetland Park boundaries and sits just downstream of the Rainbow Gardens Weir and upstream of the Fire Station Weir and Lake Las Vegas.  This rock riprap structure spans the Wash 320 feet across, 350 long and 7 feet high.  The most obvious element of this weir is the 350-foot bridge that extends over the structure connecting the south and north shores.  This bridge is a valuable element in Clark County Parks and Recreation Trails Master Plan and will eventually be complimented by an addition bridge upstream when the Upper Diversion Weir and Bypass Channel are completed in 2008.
