Surf & Turf
Get dusty on miles of single-track, and cool off in the refreshing waters of Lake Mead. Adventure seekers
will love this multi-sport trip that begins with mountain biking and ends with kayaking in the
clear waters of Lake Mead.
Your adventure starts as you fasten up your gloves and helmet, and are fitted to your full
suspension bike. Immediately warm up your muscles while heading up the hill to join the bike path.
Views of the lake are ever present as you drop nearly 1500 feet in elevation, making your way toward
Lake Mead.
The trail winds past Heminway Park, a favorite shady place for local Desert Bighorn sheep. Keep your eyes
open and cameras ready, as herds of sheep gather in large numbers.
Lake Mead looms in the distance, as you cruise past creosote bushes and blooming cactus.
A few more miles of biking near the water's edge and kayaks suddenly appear. Here you will
swap your mountain bikes for kayaks, giving your legs a rest and putting your arms to work.
Your destination is the Boulder Islands, where a picnic style lunch will be served as you relax
in the warm sun. Water temperatures on the lake are perfect for swimming, and on a hot day it is
the perfect way to cool down.
Wooden skeletons of sunken boats are exposed as you explore the area in your kayak. Trout
and striped bass are seen jumping in the water or swimming under your kayak. Enjoy a
leisurely paddle back to shore to top of an extraordinary day of biking and kayaking on Lake Mead.
