Approved Backcountry Roads
A network of backcountry roads has been developed to provide access to the lakeshore and other areas of interest in the backcountry. Approved roads are signed with a yellow arrow. The black number in the center of the arrow designates the road number. Driving on roads or trails not marked with the yellow arrow is prohibited.
Driving off roads, in washes, or cross country damages the fragile desert soil and is prohibited by National Park Service regulations. Please check with local rangers on the road conditions before driving into the backcountry.
If you have any questions or comments about the backcountry, contact park rangers at a ranger station, visitor center or while they are on patrol. They will be glad to help you.
Please help preserve Lake Mead NRA by staying on approved roads, respecting the rights of other visitors and carrying out all trash and litter.
