This is such a beautiful place. If you ever want to get away from the city and not have to drive too far, THIS IS THE PLACE! Also a great place for photo-ops.

Nice park. Restroom was clean. Wheelchair path throughout the park. Trails could be marked better. More trash cans would help(we had to carry trash we picked up quite a way). Level terrain, easy walk for all ages/conditions.

This park is amazing with a variety of paved/cement trails and various levels of dirt/sand path. The waterway is beautiful and babbly like it should be and the views of the desert and the strip are glorious. Highly recommend!!

Its not for me. I do like some greenery around. But who am I kidding. I am in the middle of Las Vegas. I assumed there would be some amount of green. Well, there was some.This would be a nice ave to visit during early morning hours of at sunset. Would visit again sometime. I have had enough dehydration for a week.

This park has great running trails and plenty of parking. The down side is that it stinks. Like a petting zoo, or a sewer. And the bugs. There are little biting flies and no amount of bug spray will keep them away. There are often families her taking portraits so it can be a bit busy near sunset time.

I got introduced to this park from a friend way back in college. So happy to know this little sanctuary in Vegas. Went for a refreshing morning stroll with my boyfriend. Great place to escape the city, beautiful views of the Vegas skyline though. Trails are paved well too. Good place to bring kids and there are public restrooms available as well. Definitely should go visit.

Cool place to relax. The water and trees let you forget youre in the desert. We wentfor a bike ride that took us there. Having the restrooms was also convenient.

Seems to be a potential spot for just going and connecting w nature!! Always meet nice people there. Its cool so bring a jacket. Off trail hiking can get you lost eazily. Its very overgrown and a maze. Bird watching is so so.

Amazing public resources that’s completely free!!! We have been going here for years and every experience is completely different. They have so many different trails, some are even pet friendly. There is also a free museum for kids to learn more about the animals and ecosystem. There are constantly free events going on and you can check out a mature bag from the museum. Great places to see tons of animals like birds fish rabbits turtles and even tracks from coyotes. Great for picnics. You forget we are in the middle of a huge city in the middle of the desert

Beautiful place with many trails throughout the wetlands of Clark county and the Las Vegas wash which leads to lake Las Vegas and down into lake Mead recreational area. Many different kinds of vibrant wildlife and plants. Great place to take your family for a day with nature.

Its a great place to go on nature walks. You feel as though you are away from it all but you didnt have to leave town to get there. Nice variety of wildlife....bunnies, quail, frogs, great birds and turtles....serene streams of water...quite peaceful.

This place was a nice getaway and change of scenery from the rest of Las Vegas. Very well maintained trails. It’s about 20-25 minutes from the strip.

It would be great if you could walk all the trails with your dog. We could only walk our dog on the outermost paved perimeter road, we werent allowed on dirt trails, makes no sense.

GREAT outdoor for kids you can appreciate nature/wildlife. If you find the upper pond look for the family of Instagram worthy turtles that peek their heads out of the water for photo ops. Fantastic escape from the strip and/or desert. Bring water/snacks & grap a map. It is 210 acres you dont want to get lost!

Never knew such beautiful spot existed in my city, I remember on the radio they said to come out and help everybody was out here planting everything a few years ago and the city made a huge BBQ.

Review №21

I wish the county would not rip out all of the natural vegetation just to put other plants in their place. I guess its called progress. Idk. They are adding a watering system for the new plants. The plants that live there now dont need to be watered. I do love walking out there. Theres lots of birds and natural beauty.

Review №22

Really enjoyed the walk here. Only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is because while my wife and I were watching the park movie (only two people in the room) a worker came in and said I have to be 6 feet away from my wife. I said we live in the same house hold and in a very rude tone he said and now you are in this building and need to stay 6 feet apart. It was very bizarre but we separated anyway because we just wanted to watch the movie in peace.

Quiet. You can walk, explore the trails. Ride your bike . Take the dog . Play area for children. Early in the morning, solitude and silent.

Brilliant! One of the few places in the city with flowing water. Incredible wildlife, especially birds. Plenty of trails for walking/hiking. Lots of areas to sit and rest.

Beautiful escape. One improvement I must say is to add / fix the burned signs. I got lost for a few because of the size of this place. None the less it was a fun adventure. But it definitely needs signs / placement maps.

A variety of paths to choose from, whether it be a stroll down many of the paved walkways, biking trails or even paths you can bring your dogs on. Its the beautiful Las Vegas desert, at its best.

This park was a breath of fresh air both literally and figuratively. with so much of Las Vegas being based on entertainment and nightlife, this area was very lush, with a ton of wildlife. I was shocked with how many times that I have been to Vegas status place even existed and I was regretting that I didnt have a bike or my running gear because it would have been great to spend more time there. It was nice to be able to walk around and get a bit lost and explore. I will definitely visit the wetlands again my next time in the Las Vegas area

A very nice family park for walking & riding bikes. They also have a playground for the kids. Very handicap accessible. The information center was great . Lots of stuff to do and interact with. Some of the trails are cement and gravel . They also have many bridges that are very well maintained and picturesque. You will find many photo opportunities on the way. Many places to stop and rest and enjoy the Scenery on benches. They also have areas with canopies over them. Would definitely come back.

Saw so many cool things, water rapids, turtles, road runners...shout-out to Eugene he is great hes part of the cleaning crew there and was so so welcoming even showed us the audiotorium where you can watch informational videos about the land. Theres also free binaculars cemented into the ground up near the visitors center. And this time of year they have a really cute spooky maze

Wetlands in the desert? You wouldnt think there would be such a thing, but Vegas surprises me again. This is a nice park for walking and checking out wildlife. There seems to be a good abundance of fowl plus turtles and fish in the water. The walking paths are either paved or unpaved trail. But they are both easy to walk on. The desert views and scenery are fantastic. This would be a great place to take pictures of people and theres even a playground for kids.

I LOVE THIS PARK!! It’s a perfect place to be adventurous and just enjoy nature. My boyfriend and I love going with some friends to explore the park and it’s hidden trails. It’s also a perfect place to take pictures for weddings, prom, etc.

The wetlands park is a very nice to go to.It has a nature museum,and meny different walking trails. It very peaceful and calm. Go and see it.

Review №40

Good place to get away from the city and embrace the desert. Not too far out and lesser known leaves you with a lot of time and space to decompress or let the dogs run loose. Also, its secretly the best bike trail in Clark County. Be sure to check out the museum and nature preserve. Hike along the ridges for awesome views of Las Vegas and Lake Las Vegas. Photos are great throughout the day but especially sunrise and sunset.

Review №41

The views were beautiful. This is probably the biggest park I have been to. There are lots of animals and If you need help with anything you could go inside and get a map or ask anything to the people that work there. Everything is absolutely free so you dont need to pay for anything but there is a little store with little toys and some other useful stuff. Other than all the space you can explore and walk through, there is also a little theater about the park and a little cafe where you can sit and get WiFi but there is no food. If you go, youll find out for yourself.

It was beautiful! We enjoyed checking out the visitors center and walking the trails. No real shade on the trails but it was overcast and nice while we were there so it worked out well. The 2-year-old had a blast too!

My family and I live about one mile away from the Clark County wetlands park. We take at least a good half hour to one hour walk 2 to 3 times a week just to take in some nature and see all the natural beauty.Besides the well laid out trails that are nicely marked out and the beautiful views some of which I captured in the pictures that I posted with this there is the visitors center and the education center that are meticulously done and offer education workshops classes and all sorts of opportunities for families to learn together play together and learn about water conservation nature desert conservation biology and the environment that we live in.Even if we lived much further away we would probably still come to the wetlands park regularly.I highly recommend this place to locals and to those visiting to make their way down to East Tropicana and Broadbent to come and see this wonder of nature.Having lived in Las Vegas for 16 years its too easy to forget that we have immense biodiversity and that the desert is not the only beauty to be found here.I would say that 90% of the area is wheelchair accessible and there are smooth flat concrete walkways and even the dirt paths are not hard to traverse as we do with a 3 wheeled baby carriage. For those that are looking to make a day of it, there is a cafeteria area where we have brought our food in at different times.Its totally worth taking couple of minutes to go to the wetlands park website and check out the calendar of of events. Theres something just about every week throughout the year.Favorites of our family include their Halloween events and their summer program events.Enjoy the nature and hope to see you there!

I guess we went at the wrong time of year and probably wrong time of day. It was hot!!! But its a nice area to walk and get a piece of mind. A change from the dry and brown Vegas area.

Review №59

Such a wonderful area! Water in Vegas... rapids, water falls, fowl, little critters and tons of room to walk trails and explorer. You forget you are in a big city full of rude people and traffic jams. You also have multiple sections to choose from. All are amazing and well kept. As you get further down toward the Sahara and Rolly area I wish it was open to camping. It is wide open. I prefer this area over the actual park. Its natural and wild.

Not a bad little preserve, considering its so close to Vegas and across the street from a housing development. I went after some heavy rains and the ponds were full, lots of ducks and a turtle. Good for some quiet solitude.

What a nice place to visit for the whole family. Lots of walking trails, some wheelchair accessible. Plenty of plants and animals to see. Stop by a few of the ponds for ducks and other birds. We saw few different kinds of fish too. And if youre lucky you can see coyote too. Visit the visitor center and spend little time learning about the history, why are these wetlands here and different kinds of fauna and flora. There are interactive activities for kids to keep them interested and also learn something. Best part is its free so consider donating. Enjoy!

Review №69

Fun place to get your nature fix in an oasis-like preserve. There are easy walking trails and bike trails for all levels of riders -watch out, some areas have steep hills! Maps and interactive exhibits at a very nice visitor center. Restrooms at visitor center and on nature trail. Unsightly failed areas of groundcover planting and rows of dead trees give evidence that the desert, even near the Las Vegas Wash, is a difficult environment.

Review №75

Definitely a great place for a morning walk or run. There is a good size parking area, as well as a nature center and restrooms. Different trails are available to the public, and there is always some native wildlife to see. There are also water viewing areas within the preserve where you can view wildlife, including turtles. Spring and Fall probably offer the best opportunity for taking in this park as the temperatures are definitely more friendly than the 110 plus temperatures Vegas has in the summers. Bring your cameras as this really is a lovely area within the Vegas Valley. I would also suggest wearing not only sunscreen but some sort of insect repellent as there are areas of standing water that not only attract but are home to different types of flying insects.It is important to keep in mind that the Wetlands Park is a conservation area so there are a few rules to keep in mind:*Everything you pack in, you pack out. (Basically no littering) Picnics within the Preserve can be eaten in the Nature Center there, as there really are no places to sit and eat within the preserve itself.*animals must be on a leash in designated areas, and there are areas within the park that pets are NOT allowed. (again this is a conservation/preservation area and the decision is made to protect the wildlife that calls this area home as well as their habitat)*Bicycles are not permitted on the trails within the preserve. There is an outer paved loop where bicycles are permitted.

This is an awesome Clark County Park with tons of walking trails for the family. It is also great for road biking since you can connect to the trail that takes you down to Lake Las Vegas, Pabco Trailhead, and even the River Mountain Loop. If you want a long bike ride, this is the place to start.

Great birding location in the Las Vegas area. Nice discovery. The first time I was able to check it out I was very happy. Plenty of birds and wildlife to observe in a nice peaceful setting. The wet lands are full of life and there are many interesting nooks and crannies to check out. Nice escape from the city!

This place is a beautiful and nearby escape from the city and its still in development! Volunteering here has certainly been a treat. Highly recommended that you visit if youre looking for the Best Place in Vegas to Pretend Youre Not in Vegas. There are no pets, no biking, and no equestrian-ing in the Nature Preserve, but there are trails for that along the outskirts of the preserve and the rest of the park, which is HUGE!

We LOVE the Wetlands Park! Walked around this morning, beautiful day, saw lots of birds, such a lovely, peaceful place to spend a morning! Trails are mostly paved and level, easy for walking. Beautiful visitors center and gift shop. Volunteers are friendly and helpful. Open dawn to dusk, plenty of parking, free admission! If youre a birder, or if you just want to take a nice walk, Wetlands Park is the place!

This protected wetland is a great place for an easy morning or evening walk or bike ride. For biking, you have to stay on the paved path but you can walk or run on the dirt trails. Bring water and wear a hat. There is also a park with a climbing wall for kids. Its nice and breezy and you can see lots of bird species and desert rabbits. Only 20 minutes drive from the Strip with a beautiful view of the whole valley.

Clark County Wetlands is a great place to spend a couple of hours or wander around for an entire day.There are numerous paths, some paves, some dirt. The river is a great place to sit and relax, or you can take the 8 mile path through the reserve.
