Lake Mead

Lake Mead is a lake that serves as the primary source of pure non-irradiated water to the Mojave Wasteland.

Layout
The lake bed is mostly sand and rocks with the odd bit of seaweed here and there. There are fish in the lake as well (although they can't be interacted with). On the lake bed, a crashed B-29 airplane can be found, which the Courier is asked to bring up to the surface during the quest Volare!.

There is also an underwater cave situated here, the Lake Mead Cave, not to be confused with the Camp Guardian caves which are southeast of the B-29. Directly behind the plane lies a partially sunken ship resembling a tugboat, red in color, which has some gore bags coming out of a hole in the hull. Directly below that ship lies the cave.

Past the invisible walls the lake is irradiated.

Notable loot

 * Almost straight north from Boulder Beach Campground there are Sunken Sarsaparilla Supplies at the bottom of the lake. To locate the supplies go into the water using the ramps on the Scavenger Platform and swim west. There are several Sunset Sarsaparilla crates and even more Empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles, about 11 dozen, and 3 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle caps.
 * South of the Scavenger Platform is a sunken, half-buried ship that contains a single bottle of hydra.

Appearances
Lake Mead appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * There are a few hollow, floating, underwater rocks south-east of the Boulder Beach Campground docks.
 * Just south-east of the hollow, floating, underwater rocks lies an underwater rock face with a "hole" in it big enough for the player to swim in and out thus putting the player inside some rocks.
 * There is yet another "hole" if the shoreline is followed south.
 * When fast traveling to Lake Mead (when you spawn on the boat wreckage), you can often see the crashed B-29, floating off in the distance by the dock. However, when you approach it, it's gone, per the Boomer's quest.
