America's largest reservoir remains in peril The lake was only 33% full at the end of 2025.

Lake Mead remains in peril

One of California’s largest suppliers of drinking water, Lake Mead, was at a troublingly low level yet again at the end of 2025. End of year data shows that the water elevation at Lake Mead’s Hoover Dam was 1,062.24 feet.

Insane that in THREE years after this was posted there hasn't been any changes and this is a REAL problem today with the continual drought despite California getting more rain than anyone else part of the "pact" in 1893. #Lakemead #California #water

A photo of Lake Mead, taken in December 2016, from the Nevada side of this reservoir.
Notice the white line on the nearest hill? 
That's caused by the lake levels severe drop due to an extreme drought that began in 2000.

I immediately thought of #LakeMead.
We lived in Las Vegas for 25 years. In that time, we saw this lake go from full to almost empty.
This photo was taken in December of 2016 when we were RVing. You can clearly see the "bathtub ring" caused by the extreme drought which began in 2000.

Looking down a decaying road in the desert. A "dead end" sign sits by the edge, and at the end a small brick building is visible. Desert scrub stretches into the distance. Dark mountains on the horizon as gray clouds fill the sky.

A round cement picnic table sits near a railing looking out over the desert. A lamppost stands to the left, and what was once a boat ramp extends down to nothing. Dark mountains under gray clouds in the background.

Just down the highway and up 3 miles of closed road, Overton Beach Marina sits #abandoned on the edge of #LakeMead. The dock was removed in 2008 for lack of water, and the rest closed in 2012.

A lone fireplace and chimney rise up in the middle of the desert. Parts of the foundation are visible in the foreground. An expanse of scrub brush stretches into the background, mountains on the horizon under cloudy skies where a bit of blue sky is visible to the left and darker gray clouds to the right.

A bit of long flat concrete sits in the sand in the foreground, a small curb on either side. Behind it, empty desert scrub stretching back to the mountains. Clouds cover the sky, a peek of blue to the left but dark gray to the right.

The stone foundation of a long-gone building sits in the desert, a few cement steps in one corner and the remnants of the porch in front. Scrub back to mountains in the distance. Clouds from white on the left to gray on the right.

The foundation of the old school house, a lone broken column has fallen down onto the steps in the center. The background is desert scrub stretching to the mountains on the horizon. The sky is mostly cloudy, gray to white, with bits of blue peeking out.

Here's another fun climate change adventure: #OldStThomas.

At the beginning of the 20th century, this was a town. By the middle, covered with 60-70 feet of #LakeMead. And now... it's neither.

Mom took my furiends and me to #LakeMead. Specially, the Wet Lands. We are all pooped. A great #AuzzyAdventure this #ThanksgivingEve. We will definitely do this trail again. Parts were pretty scary for mom with 4 dogs but we pulled her through it.
