Floyd Lamb State Park

I love this place, you get in touch with nature .
It’s peaceful except when ducks get feed but that don’t really matter. It’s beautiful all the way around.
You will see rabbits, ducks, llamas, ponys, horses, goats, peacocks. You can also ride your bike or go fishing. The fee per car is $ 6 dollars but it’s worth it. Yeah there is poop from animals but I really don’t care. This is our number one place to get away and enjoy nature.

«Lovely Park» I always enjoy an afternoon walk around the grounds seeing all that nature has to offer its so peaceful.

Great place to practice fishing here in Las Vegas if you’re just getting started. Catfish hit great during the summer just before the sun is setting and on to Sunday. The pond stocks with trout during the winter while bass naturally spawn year round.

A very nice little oasis here in Las Vegas. I fish here regularly, great for bass. Really nice compared to the other urban ponds. Wish they would spend more on cleaning up a the duck poop and yeah. After all a year pass there is more than one for lake mead, so would hope to be cleaner.

Did you know there used to be such a thing as divorce tourism? I didn’t until I found this fantastic little converted ranch in the middle of the desert. It feels like an oasis since there is greenery surrounded by lakes amidst the dry mountains of the Mojave. Apt that there is horseback riding since the backdrop is perfect for it.

A HIDDEN GEM IN LAS VEGAS! I was very surprised this park is in Las Vegas, once you step onto the property it is a step away from the desert. I like that you can fish in the lakes, and they stock the water with fish, so you know there is actually something to catch while you are there. The different areas are well spaced so you aren’t imposing on another groups activities. There are restrooms placed throughout the park. This is a great retreat away from the Las Vegas life.

Besides being far out on the outskirts of town, it really is like having our own oasis in the middle of the desert. The park has tons of shaded areas and trees surrounding the various ponds with fish in them. There are areas where you can bbq and picnic at. You do have to pay to enter the park. I believe it’s $ 6/​person? Don’t quote me on that. But it’s a nice area to take the kids. There are also ducks and geese walking around which you can feed. My 3 yr old loves to do this. It’s definitely a family day kind of spot.

Prepare to see ducks, geese, rabbits, & gorgeous peacocks! A great place to take your family for a picnic, host a birthday party or go for a run!

This park is huge. It’s great that it has ponds and animals everywhere. Geese, ducks, peacocks, and rabbits were all out and about when we came. However, there were no water fountains and considering it cost $ 6 to come in the park, you’d think they could afford a few of those.

When you first drive up, it looks like bunch of gravel and rocks. Keep going though, and you’ll find an oasis. Even in the hottest part of summer, the trail around the lake is shaded and cool. Beyond the lake is the historic section, with a few smaller old buildings with informative plaques. If you keep going though, the trail loops around a basin. The shaded rest stops are a lifesaver in this area.
You’ll notice a ton of ducks and geese in and around the water, as well as peacocks. Fishing is allowed, max 3 per person. If you stay extra still and quiet, you might see a few bunnies. I saw signs about walking horses across intersections, so apparently they make appearances too.
There is an admission fee (~$ 5?) but if you get here early enough (~8AM?), no one will be at the gate yet so you can go on through.

We visited this park for the first time in June in the morning. It wasn’t crowded, mostly people fishing, some dog walkers, a few other families. I thought the grounds were clean and well taken care of. There’s lots of geese and ducks so yes, there will be poop. Watch your step. We enjoyed wandering the paved paths around the ponds and watching the peacocks. I wouldn’t come here later in summer, I bet those still areas in the ponds are mosquito heaven. Lovely park and we will be back. Only complaint is the lack of trash cans. I only saw two in our time there and imagine the trash piles up after a busy day.

We had our wedding here on March 17^th Tuesday and it turned out to be a great venue for a easy going wedding.
Some of the details on my initial reasons and trepidation for booking are in my previous review below so I won’t repeat myself on those points but I’m glad we decided to book.
The one positive thing is Darren was a big help in keeping this smooth sailing that day and made sure to watch the house when everyone was distracted and helped with prep like cutting up garnishes for cocktails and helped with cleaning up after.
We lucked out but the AM of our morning is when they washed the floors and mowed the grass so the bird poop wasn’t on the pathways (but we came prepped with a broom just in case). I don’t know if this is something you can request or not, but I didnt think about it at the time to ask.
The positive is if you have plans for a lot of activities or a large wedding, the area you get is a large stretch of land. It was perfect for lawn games, a separated dining and ceremony space and still plenty of empty area to do even more. If you’re looking for a venue and finding space constraints, then it’s worth exploring the park option. I loved that we can do whatever, not have to use certain «preferred» vendors. Also for the cost of renting this place for a entire day, it probably won’t even cost as much as a banquet hall style venue for a few hours. There were some old buildings that make for nice pictures so I’m excited to see what comes back from our photographers.
The bit of cons is there was a bit patchy on grass and trees, but it is the season too as March isn’t when it is in full. It was «winter hours» still so check when the sunlight is longer so that you can have the place for even longer. It is still publicly open so to secure your area, be there early and let people know trying to use the space. We put up a few «private event» signs around the perimeter on small stakes and tied along the fence. Most people kept away once the party was in full swing, but we had to verbally tell a few early folks and some decided to be snotty about picnicking elsewhere. Of course the birds lead to a random element that some people do not like, but for me it wasn’t a con. A lot of guests were amused by them and the ones that hang by the foremans house generally were pretty calm and seem more social than some of the geese that are off some of the lakes.
We’re glad we went for this place. It kept us well below budget for a venue, more than enough space and let us plan out something that has personality.

My family chose a hot Summer day to explore this park. The minimal fee at the station out front is $ 6 cash. The gals who were at the station/​shack were very friendly, excitedly informing us of all the catfish that were brought in the day before, and that the kids could fish without a license. We weren’t prepared for fishing that day, but we did walk around the area. The lush trees provide lots of shade, which was greatly welcomed. The ducks/​geese though-​they are RELENTLESS. After we cleaned a picnic bench to the best we could, a group of 20 or so stalked us for a good 20 minutes, drooling, hissing and staring at us while we ate.
We walked around the park, reading the historic info signs they have at each building structure. We also walked around the whole pond. If you’re into going somewhere that is not your typical Vegas feel, definitely visit this place.
**I also did a Trash the (wedding) Dress photo shoot here, many years ago. I must have been on a mission to get the perfect photo, as I jumped into that murky pond in the middle of November. Somehow I blocked out the thought of millions of duck feathers and duck poop floating in there, but I DID get the perfect photo.

For a good escape from the city, Tule Springs offers just what you need: serene views of the ponds, geese and ducks, a fishing dock, and benches to savor the view. I went here with a friend last month and we had a good laugh when the geese decided to chase us for our sandwich the moment they caught sight of us.
Entry requires a $ 6 fee per vehicle like many other state parks and with that, anyone interested to fish is allowed 3 catches. We skipped on the fishing and helped ourselves to a little exploration, eventually spotting the ranch peeking from behind the ponds. This is where Floyd Lamb begins and it opens up to a wonderful barn with horses, goats, wild rabbits, llamas and alpacas. For $ 5, you could go on a brief horse ride and some down time with the farm animals. Give this one a shot. The horses were very tame and calm, one experience to remember for sure.
The only downside to the location is how some grass areas have become muddy because the geese peck at the ground a lot. It can get a little hard to walk in so sticking to the paved trails might be a wiser idea.

Amazing find. Took my kids here for the day. They loved feeding the geese and ducks. We also spent time watching the people fishing in the small ponds. Great way to get back to nature. We also took the dog and he loved it here.

Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs offers visitors a natural sanctuary from the kinetic energy of Las Vegas and The Strip. Abundant vegetation, wild life, small lakes, historic buildings set against the backdrop of the Spring Mountains offers visitors a unique Las Vegas park experience. An engaging place to visit to enjoy the colors of autumn foliage not seen in most parts of Clark County’s desert terrain.
I would agree with other reviewers that there could be improvements made to maintenance of the park grounds and facilities. I understand that geese are messy but many of the trails appeared that they had not been cleaned in a long while. Be careful where you walk. The bathroom situation was a challenge as many of the bathrooms were not operational.
The park’s beauty and fascinating history overcome any criticism I may have regarding maintenance levels. I look forward to a return visit and would recommend a trip to Floyd Lamb Park to anyone who is looking for an out of the ordinary Las Vegas experience.

Floyd Lamb is a wonderful park with animals that poop on the ground; yes, it’s true. It happens when animals roam around. Other reviews bring up the poop factor, but it hasn’t really bothered me that much when I’ve visited. I’ve seen dog poop, duck poop, bird poop, horse poop, but not peacock poop, maybe because I don’t know how to identify theirs. As long as it’s not ratched people poop, I’m good. On the other hand, I don’t come to Floyd Lamb to sit at the tables and picnic, either. I run the trails and around the park and this is what I give the stars to the most. The trail system is used by humans as well as horses and dogs: look out for the poop! It’s not that rocky, but rather compacted dirt, so you don’t have to worry too much about turning an ankle or looking down the whole time you’re running. There are lots of covered seating areas on the trail if you want to stop and enjoy the views, as well as dog poop bags and trash cans if you’re the responsible dog owner type. Bikers can also use the trails. There are ponds at the park with ducks of all sizes and they’re not skittish around humans, so you can really get up close and personal with them. Peacocks roam around, too, but not usually near the water, but closer to the farm buildings when I’ve seen them. You’ll see things at this park that you won’t at others around town, so I recommend it if you want a nice change of pace; just watch where you’re stepping.
$ 6 daily entry fee

The park is huge and beautiful with 4 manmade lakes. there are peacocks, rabbits, ducks roaming around. I came here today and during fall last year with the beautiful colors of the trees. $ 6 entrance fee per car. Nice place for a picnic, clean bathrooms, we’ll maintained.
There is a petting zoo with goats, horses, burros etc.

Far, far away from me is Floyd Lamb park.
After drinking a smoothie and a 45 minute drive, I needed a bathroom. We pulled up, paid the $ 6 fee. The gal working there was sweet, friendly, and bubbly. She complemented my jewelry, called my guy a keeper and told us to have fun.
Now, the bathroom situation…
We met up with another group of friends, and one of our gals had to use the bathroom also. Unfortunately, many of the toilets were unusable. Besides some of the lights not working (I guess I could have pee’d in the dark)… The toilets were almost OVER flowing with waste.
We did find a usable toilet, with barely enough toilet paper to use for one individual. I’m guessing this is because most of it was scattered on the floor.
There is also no soap dispenser, and the automatic hand dryer wasn’t working. Barely dried cookies, wet hands… I mean, not the way I want to start a day with my family.
We found a spot to fish, but the park is poorly maintained. Trash is scattered, and I know it comes along with it, but the bird droppings were out of control. The walk way was covered with them.
For a $ 6 entry fee, this park should be better maintained. I’m pretty disappointed. The scenery is lovely, but with the amount of fecal matter (human and animal) it is not a place that I would be dying to go back to.

This review is strictly regarding the farmers market that happens on the first and third Saturdays of the month.
The market is from 10 am to 2 pm. Visitors to the market gets in the park for free; the entrance fee is $ 6 otherwise. The market is right at the entrance of the park, so you can’t really miss it.
There are about twenty vendors on the tree-​lined road to the «ranch.»
There were peacocks roaming free all over the park, and there seem to be quite a few things to do at the park. There was a food truck to the other side of the market. There were also horse drawn buggy rides around the park.
Although this park is out of the way for residents in, for example, Henderson, it was still a nice ride to get there and certainly a nice destination to arrive to.
