Floyd Lamb Park552
in Las Vegas, NV 89131about Floyd Lamb Park:
When it's time to get back to nature, head 15 miles northwest of the Strip to Floyd Lamb Park, which features several environs: grassy lawns, four ponds, and natural desert areas.
The area was once called Tule Springs and served as a destination for water for Native Americans and valley travelers. In the 1940's, it became a privately owned dude ranch. Guests often stayed during the six-week residency requirement for Nevada's well-known quick divorces. The Tule Springs Ranch Historic Area within the park is now a destination itself, where visitors can view the exteriors of 23 ranch buldings and read plaques about its past.
Today, the park's ponds are perfect for fishing - they're stocked with catfish in summer, rainbow trout in winter - and families can enjoy scenic paths, volleyball pits, horseshoe facilities, and picnic areas with barbeques. Families with birders among their members find ample avian communities to watch here too.

tips:
Make sure to obtain a state fishing license if you're an adult and plan to fish with the kids.
getting there:
From downtown Las Vegas, drive north on U.S. 95 to Durango Road. Exit the highway and turn right onto Durango. At this point, Durango runs diagonally to the northeast. Follow Durango as it curves to the left (north) and continue for about a half-mile until you see state park signs at Brent Lane. Turn right onto Brent Lane and drive east into the park.
