Visit Pearce Ferry, Lake Mead
Pearce Ferry Take-out at Pearce Ferry, Lake Mead, is the first take-out point for river trips traveling through the entire Grand Canyon. This Take-Out (on Lake Mead) has been recently renovated, making it operational at low reservoir levels. With the appearance of Pearce Ferry Rapid, this take-out has become preferred, as the rapid just below is often considered unrunnable, though this is always changing.
Pearce Ferry marks the boundary between Lake Mead and the Grand Canyon, where the low sandy banks around the lake give way to imposing, colorfully layered cliffs that enclose the Colorado River for the next 277 miles upstream. A ferry was operated here by the Pearce family starting around 1876. It is located at the end of the 52-mile Dolan Spring Road, starting from US Route 93 halfway between the dam and Kingman.
TIPS:
Pearce Ferry is sometimes misspelled “Pierce Ferry.”
