Lake
Mead, AZ – June 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / With a surface area larger
than the city of Detroit, myriad water recreation, camping and hiking opportunities
and hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, Lake Mead National Recreation
Area ranks routinely as one of the National Park Service’s 10 most visited
parks. Among those in the know, however, Temple
Bar Marina on the Arizona shoreline of the lake remains a hidden gem,
favored for its remote tranquility, less crowded atmosphere, excellent
fishing, camping—all set amidst a dramatic desert landscape.
“Our
most seasoned fishers and boaters tell us all the time we are the best
kept secret on Lake Mead,” says Melinda Hyde, general manager, Temple Bar
Marina. “We have families that come every year to stay at our motel, rent
power boats and head out to Sandy Beach near the entrance to the Grand
Canyon to picnic, water ski or wakeboard.”

Temple
Bar offers a variety of accommodations and services, including a 22-room
lodge, four rustic fishing cabins, 10 RV hook ups and a picnic area with
barbecue grills. A variety of watercraft available for rent includes kayaks,
canoes, fishing boats, ski boats and personal watercraft. Fishing gear
and licenses are available for sale at the marina store, which also offers
a grill and sells apparel, an assortment of groceries and other sundries.
High
season at Temple Bar is Memorial Day through Labor Day, but some exceptional
recreational opportunities abound during spring and fall. A memorable way
to experience the best Lake Mead has to offer is to plan a tent camping
trip out of Temple Bar. Begin the adventure with an overnight stay at the
lodge. Early the next morning, pack up the camping gear and board a rented
power boat for a leisurely day of fishing while enjoying the spectacular
rock formations seen at this part of the lake. Then, moor the boat at Sandy
Beach for a night or more of tent camping in this secluded cove, where
canyon walls shield the landscape from blustery winds.
Temple
Bar is located approximately 1.5 hours by car from Las Vegas, 3.5 hours
from Southern California and five hours from Phoenix. A small airport serves
private aircraft as well.
