Echo Bay Marina on Lake Mead to close Feb. 1

But with the 2007 closure of services at Overton Beach and the pending closure of Echo Bay, the closest boat fueling dock will be at Callville Bay, 30 miles away.

That means boaters will need to be aware of how far they can travel and safely return before running out of fuel, Dickinson said.

Dickinson said about 100 boat owners will lose lease space at Echo Bay Marina. A transition team is helping those who want to relocate to marinas at Callville Bay, the Las Vegas Boat Harbor and Temple Bar on Lake Mead, or to Lake Mohave facilities at Cottonwood Cove, Willow Beach or Katherine Landing.

Park officials are trying to keep open the Echo Bay trailer village, RV campsites, dry boat storage and land-based fuel station.

A public boat launch, picnic and campground with public restrooms and an RV dump station will remain open, along with a fish cleaning station.
