Clark County Wetlands Park protects Las Vegas Wash riparian corridor

The Clark County Wetlands Park preserves a stretch of the Las Vegas Wash, a natural drainage that carries urban runoff east to Lake Mead and supports uncommon wetland habitat in the arid valley. The Wash provides an important groundwater recharge and ecological corridor that contrasts with surrounding desert and urban development, making it a notable geographic and hydrologic anomaly in the Las Vegas area. The park includes trails and interpretive exhibits focused on this riparian system within the metropolitan valley.
