Lake Mead Houseboat Rental
Located in Southern Nevada and Northern Arizona, Lake Mead
is one of America's most popular recreation areas, as well as a
popular lake for a houseboat vacation.
Situated on the Colorado River, Lake Mead is about 15
miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada and covers the states of
Nevada and Arizona. Formed when the Colorado River was dammed
during the 1930s, Lake Mead is the 16th largest man-made lake
in the world and the largest man-made lake in the Western
Hemisphere.
With a 12-month season of boating, skiing, fishing and
swimming, it's no wonder that Lake Mead receives more than 9
million visitors each year, many of them choosing to rent a
houseboat and take in the With 550 miles of pristine shoreline
and soaring red rock cliffs, or fish for striped and largemouth
bass, of which Lake Mead is famous.
The best time to rent a houseboat on Lake Mead is definitely
in the spring and fall when there are warmer temperatures. The
months of June through August see temps over 100 degrees, but
if you can stand the heat of the day, you will find houseboat
rates fall by several hundred dollars.
There are two popular areas to rent a houseboat on Lake
Mead, one on the Nevada side on one on the Arizona side. You
can find houseboat rentals in both areas provided by Forever
