Welcome to my kayaking blog! I live in Las Vegas, Nv and got into kayaking about 2 years ago. I spend a lot of my time kayaking on Lake Mead, just outside of Boulder City, NV or out of Willow Beach, AZ. From Willow Beach, you can paddle about 11 miles upstream to the base of Hoover Dam. I'm also a member of the local kayak group (http://www.lasvegaskayakers.com/). A lot of good eggs in this meetup group. If you're going to be in Vegas, check them out.
