Officials are urging visitors to remain cautiousThe National Park Service said Friday that the fatalities occurred over the past weekend.
"Two more people drowned at Lake Mead NRA – that’s 19 fatalities this year, a sad trend we want to change," Acting Superintendent Mike Gauthier said in a release."We are still seeing multiple incidents and accidents, both on the land and on the water." There were also several close calls with boaters being caught off-guard as monsoon winds swept through the area unexpectedly, creating hazardous conditions on the water.
