Lakes in Nevada

If you like water sports, you'll love Nevada, home of Lake Tahoe and Lake Mead, as well as many other beautiful bodies of water.

Kayaking, canoeing, water paddling - it's all good when you're enjoying the clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe, Washoe Lake and Pyramid Lake. Lake Tahoe is so clear, in fact, that scuba diving is popular there, with divers enjoying excellent visibility at depths of over 150 feet. Like Lake Tahoe, Cave Rock's artificial reef and Lake Mead's Dive Park also offer divers a chance to explore all sorts of sunken "treasure", from trees to sailing ships. Lake Mead is also an excellent place to paddleboat into hidden coves and canyons. For lake enthusiasts who prefer more rural scenes, there are plenty of water sports available at these three recreational areas: Lahontan State Recreation Area (Silver Springs), Walker Lake State Recreation Area (Hawthorne) and Cave Lake State Park (near Ely).
