Segment 16
In 1998, the City of Henderson in partnership with Basic Management Inc, and
the National Park Service received a TEA-21 grant in the amount of $395,000 for
the construction of segments 15, 16 and 17. Segments 15, 16,17 (and 18,19,
20 and 21) are funded. A cooperative agreement is being prepared between
all parties so that these six segments can be built all at once. We expect
to go to bid summer 2001 with completion in the Fall of 2001.
=====================
BASELINE INFORMATION
SEGMENT NUMBER: 16
Proposed: _____
Existing: ___X___
APPROXIMATE LENGTH: .3 miles
SEGMENT ENDPOINTS:
START: Lake Mead NRA entrance station
FINISH: Basic Management Inc. Pipeline right-of-ways just
east of entrance station
SEGMENT NARRATIVE:
The trail makes an at grade crossing at NPS entrance station and extends
a mile south along a power easement for the entrance station until it
intersects with the BMI pipeline road.
EXISTING AUTHORIZED USE (S):
*This is an undeveloped trail segment.
_X_ hiking
_X__ mountain bicycling
_X__ road bicycling
__X_ horseback riding
__X__other (walking, jogging, rollerblading)
EXISTING TRAIL CONDITIONS:
This is a newly developed 25 foot trail corridor with paved and gravel
components.
TRAIL WIDTH: 10 Feet
TRAIL TREAD/SURFACE. Asphalt/Gravel
OTHER FEATURES: Will need safety and security measures to
manage motorized access.
LAND OWNERSHIP AND OTHERS WITH EASEMENTS OR OTHER LEGAL ACCESS:
A small portion of the proposed route is included within the right-of-way
for Lake Mead Drive. The remainder is on lands withdrawn by the Bureau of
Reclamation for water and power purposes and managed by the National Park
Service.
LEAD TRAIL PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT ENTITY:
National Park Service with the Bureau of Reclamation.
PROPOSED OR PENDING LAND USE CHANGES/OR OTHER OPPORTUNITIES OR OBSTACLES:
The soils in this area are gypsiferous supporting a unique plant community
featuring giant sunray, sand- paper plant, and palmer's phacelia. Soil type
will need to be considered in trail design and construction. The trail may
cover underground power line requiring possible maintenance. Paved trail may
be difficult to maintain given this situation.
TRAIL DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW
SUMMARY- In 1998 the City of Henderson in partnership with Basic
Management Inc. and the National Park Service received a TEA 21 grant for
the construction of segments 15, 16, and 17. No planning has been completed
for this corridor. Environmental compliance has been completed to run power
to the entrance station. The trail could possibly use the disturbed power
corridor.
An additional alternative is being considered. An underpass is proposed
immediately east of the Lake Mead NRA boundary. When it is complete, this
will allow the trail to access the existing BMI waterline and avoid an at
grade crossing at the entrance station. This would eliminate the need for
segments 15 and 16.

Segment 15
To Segment 17
Remember desert tortoises and big horn sheep have the
"right-of-way" and are not to be disturbed
even if they are on
the trail or block your way.
