| Summary |
"Created in 1936, the Lake Mead National Recreation Area was the United States' first national recreation area. As such, it has played a significant role in defining Americans' expectations regarding outdoor recreation, establishing the role of government in managing recreational activities, and illuminating the monumental challenges faced by the National Park Service in managing reservoir-based recreation in an arid region."--Provided by publisher. |
