State Route 166 was a road that ran along the west shore of Lake Mead.

Route description

SR 166 starts at U.S. Route 93 near Boulder City inside the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The road goes north along Lake Mead's shore. It quickly encounters a toll booth where motorists pay to enter the Recreation Area. Several roads branch off SR 166 and lead to marinas. Near the end of its route, the road turns west before meeting SR 564 and SR 147 at its northern terminus.

History

Signage for the route was removed by 2000, and according to a park ranger, the route is a park service road, and the signs were only put up to "make it easier for tourists."^[1]
