Anyone been paddling Lake Mead recently?

What is the situation regarding easy and close water access for putting my inflatable kayak in. I have read about how low the water is now and some of the photos online make it look kinda dismal. Is it worth it? Would I be limited to marinas with boat ramps or are there primitive areas I can drive close to the water for a short carry.

Bill, I can’t give status, but I can offer a caution. If the quagga mussels are like Lake Powell, be careful with boat and your hide. They’re sharp!

Thanks for the heads up.

The black line is the high water mark of Quaggas. I think we were in Iceberg Canyon at Lake Powell
