Highway system

State Route 166 was a Nevada state highway that was signed along Lakeshore Road in Clark County. The road still runs along the west shore of Lake Mead, but is no longer a state highway.

Route description

SR 166 started at an intersection with U.S. Route 93 (US 93) near Boulder City inside the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The highway went north along Lake Mead's shore. It quickly encountered a toll booth where motorists paid to enter the recreation area. Several roads branched off SR 166 and lead to marinas. Near the end of its route, the highway turned west before meeting its northern terminus, at an intersection with SR 564/SR 147.

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]
