The General Management Plan (GMP) for Lake Mead National Recreation Area was approved in 1986.The primary objective of this plan centers on accommodating increasing visitor use while protecting the area's most outstanding natural and cultural resources. It also addresses visitor use and flash flood safety problems that face most developed areas. The GMP proposals seek to alleviate crowding/congestion problems while accommodating projected increases in visitation and include expansion and improvement of existing developed areas; circulation improvements; improvement of existing shoreline access points;and establishment of new developed areas. The plan establishes maximum levels of development that could accommodate increasing use in the future, while not exceeding reasonable boating capacity limits.Increased use on Lake Mohave was to be met by varying degrees of expansion of the three major developed areas - Katherine Landing, Cottonwood Cove, and Willow Beach; improvement or addition of three access points; and development of a new major developed area at Fire Mountain.
