The view from the campground trail overlooks the discharge of the Las Vegas Wash into the Las Vegas
Bay of Lake Mead.

October 1998 - Las Vegas Boat Harbor

High elevation - March 2000

Low elevation - April 2002
Las Vegas Bay at Lake Mead is where the Wash terminates. Since Lake Mead is a reservoir and is managed as one,
it can be affected by drought conditions. Here you can see images of Las Vegas Bay at Lake Mead under both
high and low elevation conditions.

Due to the decreased levels of Lake Mead and increase of sedimentation into the Las Vegas Bay Delta, the
Las Vegas Boat Harbor was forced to move location in 2002.
