Welcome Friends!

Imagine an expansive, lush and green oasis in the southeastern corner of the Mojave Desert, just a few miles from the hustle and bustle of the Las Vegas Strip. 


This is a place where over 200 million gallons of recycled water and runoff flow through the lowest part of the Las Vegas Valley each day. Known as the Las Vegas Wash, the water runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It travels an 8-mile path east towards Lake Mead, the vast reservoir serving the municipal, industrial and irrigation needs of more than 25 million Americans in the southwest.


Straddling the Wash is Clark County Wetlands Park. Created with four unique habitats, the 2,900-acre managed wild area provides diverse habitat for native plants and wildlife.   


Connect to Place


The Park is a special place for the approximately 1.5 million visitors who have come to appreciate and enjoy it since its opening in 1999.


Park visitors can delight in seeing ducks, geese, herons, egrets and other birds dabble, wade and feed in the Wash and man-made ponds and streams. They can watch birds of prey soar high overhead. Tracks and other evidence of coyote, raccoon, bobcat, beaver, rabbits and other critters abound near water sources and throughout the Park. 


Over 20 miles of trails wind through the habitats, providing many opportunities for walking, biking, and seeing nature at its best. Most Park goers agree that every visit to Wetlands Park is a new and exciting experience. 


A Call to Act


Today, as Clark County Wetlands Park’s popularity continues to grow, there are increasing demands placed on its infrastructure, programs and activities. 


Surprisingly, the Park doesn’t have an entrance fee. Entry to its Nature Center Exhibit Hall and many of its family-friendly events and activities are delivered to the public at no charge. These include the acclaimed educational programs for Clark County School District students, special guest lectures, and popular events. Many could benefit from additional funding and support from people like you. Likewise, this unique biological, cultural and educational resource could benefit from your support to preserve it for years to come.
