Quick Look at Hoover Dam & Lake Mead's Current Water Level (Nevada/Arizona Border)

Our team wanted to see the current state of Lake Mead, the water level, and view the Hoover Dam (both in Nevada / Arizona). The location is roughly 1 hour from our HQ in Pahrump, Nevada. Maybe we will sky-watch at the location as we were scouting for areas or how we would put together such an episode.

The current water level is 1066 feet (when we made the film, now at 1067 feet). The dam stops generating hydroelectric power at 1050 feet. The lake was below that level earlier this year (2023) according to the stats we looked at.

When entering the Hoover Dam area, you can not have firearms, controlled substances, or drones. DO NOT BRING A DRONE. All vehicles entering the area are subject to search. K-9 units are on-location. The area is very safe and secure.
