The maximum depth of Lake Mead at Hoover Dam is nominally 500 feet when Lake Mead is filled to maximum pool elevation, based on the design of the dam. However, there has been extensive sedimentation throughout Lake Mead, and sediment now reaches depths of almost 100 feet at the bottom of Lake Mead near Hoover Dam. The current result is a maximum depth of about 400 feet when Lake Mead is at full pool elevation, and that maximum depth will continue to diminish over time.
