Lake Mead National Recreation Area is visited by more than nine million people a year, making it the 5th most visited national park. The park offers a wealth of things to do and places to go year-round. Lake Mead caters to boaters, swimmers, watersports enthusiasts, sunbathers, and fishermen. One of the many aspects of Lake Mead that continually draws visitors is its good weather. Many people come just to relax in the land of the sun. Refugees from states hit hard by winter's icy clutch often flee to this area to spend a mild winter. Sunbathers, water skiers, and wakeboarders spend summers here to toast in the 110 degree F plus temperatures. The area generally has less than five inches of annual rainfall.
