About this spot

Uss Crag

The USS Crag is a historic Navy vessel that served during World War II and the Korean War. It was later used by the Las Vegas Valley Water District to aid in their efforts to improve water quality in the Las Vegas Wash watershed. The ship has been converted into an educational center and museum, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to learn about both the history of the Navy and the importance of water conservation efforts.

One of the main reasons to visit the USS Crag is to gain a deeper understanding of the role that the Navy played in shaping American history. Visitors can tour the ship and learn about its various functions, including search and rescue missions and combat operations. Additionally, the ship's transformation into an educational center provides a unique glimpse into the ways in which military resources can be repurposed to serve public needs. Additionally, visitors can learn about the importance of water conservation and sustainability efforts, as well as the unique ecosystem of the Las Vegas Wash watershed, which supports a variety of plant and animal life.

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.
