Dry Lake Valley is a BLM designated open area, meaning the large, unvegetated dry lake bed can be used by all vehicles. Designated routes into and out of the dry lake bed must be used, however. The lake bed is a popular recreation area for Las Vegas locals, so be aware of other visitors. Various amenities can be found in North Las Vegas, which is only half an hour south along the highway. The lake bed is also located near a variety of other attractions, such as Valley of Fire, Arrow Canyon Wilderness, Coyote Springs, Warm Springs Recreation Area, Muddy Mountains, and Mormon Mesa. Information about some of these OHV-friendly areas can be found elsewhere on our website.
