Created when Hoover Dam was built to tame the Colorado River, Lake Mead is the largest man-made lake in the United States.

On board the 300 passenger Mississippi-style Paddle Wheeler the "Desert Princess", your captain will point out the colorful Arizona Paint Pots, Fortifi cation Hill and Boulder Island. Make sure you get the great lakeside camera shot of Hoover Dam on your Lake Mead Cruise.

Two hours at Hoover Dam are included in this tour, which gives you the opportunity to take the optional Bureau of Reclamation Discovery Tour. It includes: entrance to the multi-million dollar Tour Center, a movie on the Dams construction, the museum and exhibit areas - all for only an additional fee of $11.00.
