Echo Bay will reopen beginning Memorial Day but service hours will be limited. Overton Beach has been and still is closed. The entire recreation area is mostly open to visitors but services are severely limited. So bring what you need. Kayak rentals are available at Willow Beach on the Arizona side heading south on Highway 93. Overton has a couple of trailer parks and a motel. Mesquite, Henderson and Boulder City are other options for losging.

A:
It varies depending on which side of Lake Meade you are looking to go. It’s about an hour from Vegas if you stay on the Nevada side. If you drive another 30 mins or so you will pass over the Colorado River and through the Hoover Dam into Arizona and that part of the Lake Meade Rec Area. Your choice, can’t go wrong either way but I do recommend checking out the Hoover Dam if you are that close!
