TRAIL DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW:

SUMMARY- This segment of the trail corridor ties on Bureau of Land Management land that is subject to exchange to the Lake Las Vegas. The segment follows Lake Mead Drive and passes in close proximity to a geoglyph site and the entrance to Lake Las Vegas.

This trail is included in the landscape improvement project design manual for Lake Mead Drive. This design approved by the City of Henderson includes a trail corridor on the north side of Lake Mead Drive within the City of Henderson. Lake Las Vegas has agreed to construct a recreational trail according to the standards of the landscape improvement manual along Lake Mead Drive to the Lake Mead NRA boundary once the land exchange is completed and the lands are annexed into the City of Henderson. The trail will likely be completed within 3-5 years of annexation.
