About This Access Site
Callville Bay is one of five major launch areas on Lake Mead and offers a full-service access point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. The facility features a boat ramp, canoe/kayak launch, boat rentals, and ample parking for boat trailers. Amenities include restrooms (including accessible facilities), picnic tables, shelters, potable water, and general supplies. The site is particularly well-suited for smaller vessels—boats under 40 feet in length are specifically recommended for launching here. Pets are welcome at the facility.

Lake Mead represents the Colorado River at a major reservoir, backed up behind Hoover Dam. While the broader Colorado River is a significant waterway with substantial flow (averaging 2,220 cubic feet per second), conditions on Lake Mead are typically calmer than the free-flowing river. Callville Bay provides convenient access to scenic exploration and is well-positioned for day trips or extended paddling. To avoid crowds, consider visiting on weekdays or during off-peak hours. The nearby Las Vegas Bay Campground offers additional camping options, and the area provides easy access to visitor attractions including Hoover Dam and historic Boulder City.
