Lake Mead Birding Trail
This day trip focuses on riparian areas in the desert. Visit the swampy Muddy River delta at Overton Wildlife Management Area and a couple of springs, some dry desert, and a creek along Lake Mead. Pack a lunch or eat at one of the marinas at the lake.
From downtown, drive north on Interstate-15 for about an hour to Exit #93. Turn right (south) onto Highway 169 and drive south to the town of Logandale. About 3.6 miles south of the Interstate, turn left (east) on Bowman Road and drive for a minute or two to Bowman Reservoir. Spend a few minutes checking the lake and the shrubs for waterfowl and passerines.
