On February 8th, the Lake Mead Marina was moved out of Boulder Harbor because of continued lowering water levels on Lake Mead. It traveled about two miles south to a point adjacent to the Las Vegas Boat Harbor Marina in Hemenway Harbor.
The main sections that were moved were the A and B docks – about 470 slips. The Lake Mead Marina C dock (288 slips) moved and became part of the Las Vegas Boat Harbor Marina a year ago. There are now about 1,390 slips in Hemenway Harbor.
The Boulder Harbor launch ramp (commonly referred to as the Lake Mead Marina launch ramp) remains open to the public.
The National Park Service (NPS) is committed to maintaining public access to Lake Mead during this period of extended drought on the Colorado River system.

October 2002 – Las Vegas Bay Marina moved out of Las Vegas Bay and over to Hemenway Harbor and was renamed Las Vegas Boat Harbor Marina.
April 2003 – Lake Mead Cruises relocated its facility jusst north of Lake Mead Marina to Hemenway Harbor.
