About Temple Bar
Just 75 miles away from Las Vegas, Temple Bar Marina is located in the Temple Basin on the Arizona side of eastern Lake Mead. It’s the closest marina for Arizonans who want to get away from the more populated Boulder Basin area of Lake Mead.
Visitors To Temple Bar Marina enjoy easy access to hundreds of coves and beaches along Lake Mead’s vast shoreline.
In addition to a full-service marina, Temple Bar offers lake-view lodging, convenient RV parking with full hook-ups, an on-site convenience store/gift shop, a seasonal cafe, and a launch ramp.
The area around Temple Bar Marina is especially well known for two things: the massive rock formation that gave the area its name and its 20 mile-long unobstructed water-ski runs that have every water sports enthusiast rushing to grab a rope! Temple Bar Marina has all the fun and amenities that you’d expect from Lake Mead.
