Paddling near Boulder City, NV

Boulder City sits in Clark County, Nevada, just minutes from Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Colorado River below Hoover Dam. The area is the hub for flatwater paddling on Lake Mead and Lake Mohave, as well as guided kayak trips through Black Canyon — a 30-mile stretch of the Colorado River designated as the first National Water Trail in the Southwest. Emerald Cave, towering volcanic cliffs, and the base of the 726-foot Hoover Dam are marquee destinations on the water.
