Shipwreck Cove
Government Wash
Lake Mead NRA
Clark County, Nevada
June 2022

Three sunken boats of various sizes are now out in the open air. One metal barrel was weighted down with a cinder block. No human remains in the barrel or nearby.

The water level at Lake Mead yesterday was 1043.67 above sea level. The lake has dropped 24 feet since January 2022 and is 185 feet below full pool. The Colorado River Basin is in its 22nd year of severe drought.
