Hoover Dam Raft Tours By Black Canyon River Adventures
Authorized Concessioner of the National Park Service
1 What we offer Regular Run Tour Located a short distance from the Las Vegas Strip in Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the Black Canyon is truly one of those unique places to visit. This canyon, formed over millions of years by volcanic activity, lies just below the mighty Hoover Dam where the canyon walls rise nearly 2,000 feet from the river’s edge.
The Black Canyon is unique in its landscape, history, and close proximity to wildlife. Learn about and experience the history of Hoover Dam, the Colorado River, the geological formation of the canyon, and nature up close. The canyon is home to Bighorn sheep, Red-tailed hawks, Great Blue Heron and a variety of other flora and fauna.
Postcard Tour
Don’t have all day to spend on the river? Take the Hoover Dam Postcard Tour that allows visitors to view the Hoover Dam, the bypass bridge and journey just far enough down river to feel the canyon’s surreal setting. See up close and personal the concrete slabs, steps and rails used to build the dam. See the Old Catwalk, Gauging Station, and removed rock hillsides.
