Located on the Arizona-Nevada state line, at 726 feet it is the highest concrete dam in the United States, a National Historic Landmark, and one of America's Seven Modern Civil Engineering Wonders. The Bureau of Reclamation started conducting guided tours through Hoover Dam and Powerplant in 1937. More than 1,000,000 visitors a year take the tours and millions more drive across the dam. A visitor center and 400 car parking garage opened in 1995. The visitor center includes a theater, exhibit gallery, and a rooftop observation deck. Food and beverages are available at the dam also. Visitors may visit an outdoor overlook above the dam and a room where power is generated. The visitor center contains an exhibit gallery and a film about the dam's construction. Operating Hours: Open 9:00 AM -- Close 5:00 PM. (All times are for the Pacific-time zone). The Hoover Dam Visitor Center is open every day of the year except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Note: Pedestrians are prohibited from the top of the dam during hours of darkness.

Plan your island escape for October through April, when cool, dry air makes hiking and paddling a pleasure and the mosquitoes take a much-appreciated break. Summer brings the full force of Florida's subtropical climate—steamy mornings, afternoon thunderstorms that roll in like clockwork, and humidity thick enough to remind you why the early explorers called this the frontier.
Cool, dry winter season praised for hiking, paddling and reduced insects; excellent seasonal conditions.
Reservation tips, booking windows, and free cancellation alerts.
The park offers basic, rustic island facilities including a park store/concession, picnic areas with tables and grills, potable water and flush restrooms at the developed area, and an on‑island ferry and boat slips for overnight mooring.
