Accessing Lake Mead

Lake-loving residents of Meadview, Arizona, won’t be losing their boat launch ramp at Lake Mead after all. The National Park Service plans to build a new, low-water ramp at South Cove by 2020, if not sooner. The new South Cove ramp has been in the park’s plans since 2005, with money set aside for the work. The only other ramp close to Meadview is at Pearce Ferry, but boats can’t use it because of rapids downstream.
