I'm launching at Boulder Harbor on Saturday and will post a report. Glad I have a 4WD!
BaySport
Current Boat Launch Ramp Conditions at Lake Mead:
Overton Beach
The ramp is open and recommended for very shallow launching only. PWCs or small flat bottom fishing boats. This area is launch at your own risk due to lowering water levels. The bay is very shallow.
Echo Bay
All lanes are open and are suitable for deep water launching. The headwalk to the marina has been moved from the south side to the north side.
Callville Bay
Improvements to the ramp have continued and the south side of the ramp remains open. Please limit your tie-down to the courtesy dock (15 minutes of less). The concessioner provides shuttle service on the weekend.
Government Wash
The ramp closed in 2001 due to lowering water levels on Lake Mead.
Las Vegas Bay
The ramp closed in 2003 due to lowering water levels on Lake Mead.
Boulder Harbor Launch Ramp
The ramp is suitable for deep-water launching. The improvement project, replacing old asphalt with 6,500-square-yards of concrete, has been completed. All lanes are open.
Hemenway Harbor
The ramp is fully functional for shallow launching. Larger vessels on low trailers have been successful launching at this ramp. Boats with Deep-V hulls should consider using the Boulder Harbor Launch Ramp.
Temple Bar
There is typically no waiting line for launching and there is abundant parking. The ramp is not recommended for larger vessels (over 35 feet) at this time. Due to lowering water levels, old sections of the ramp are exposed. Large sections of the old asphalt were removed last summer and replaced with 8,000-square-yards of concrete. Work to extend this ramp as the water drops will continue.
