Drive along Northshore Road
Lake Mead National Recreation Area
If Lakeshore Road is Lake Mead’s “Main Street”, Northshore Road is its scenic route. Stretching for almost fifty miles, Northshore Road winds its way from modern times next to housing developments through historic geologic periods where the landscape changed from a flat, open plain on the edge of a continent to the rich geologic formations we see today. Northshore Road really is a trip through time.
