About this spot

Jet Stream Wall

The Jet Stream Wall is a man-made structure located in the Las Vegas Wash watershed of Nevada. Stretching 650 feet long and 20 feet high, the wall serves as a physical barrier to prevent debris and pollutants from entering the watershed. The wall was constructed in 2000 by the Southern Nevada Water Authority as part of an effort to improve water quality in the area. The wall has since become a popular site for visitors interested in environmental conservation and engineering feats. Educational tours are available to learn about the wall's construction and its important role in protecting the Las Vegas Wash ecosystem.

Visitors to the Jet Stream Wall can witness the impressive size and scale of the structure and appreciate the innovative engineering techniques used in its creation. Additionally, the area surrounding the wall is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and reptiles. Visitors may also spot rare plant species such as the Las Vegas bearpoppy and the Mojave milkweed. The site offers a unique opportunity to learn about the importance of water conservation and the impact of human activity on the environment. Overall, the Jet Stream Wall is a must-visit destination for those interested in environmental conservation and the intersection of engineering and nature.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
