Kline Hole

Overview

Kline Hole is a named bay on the east shore of the Overton Arm, a quiet, tucked‑away cove that boaters use for beaching, swimming, and low‑key fishing. It’s neighbor to Glory Hole just to the south, and both coves shift character with Lake Mead’s water levels—sometimes broad and sandy, other times tighter with pea‑gravel.

What You’ll Do and See

Expect mellow water when the wind is down and an easy place to nose in, picnic, and cool off. Anglers note occasional striped bass and largemouth here—nothing legendary, but enough action to keep a rod on board if you’re inclined. Treat any floating restroom you’ve heard about as a maybe; plan to be fully self‑contained.

Getting There

This is primarily a by‑boat destination. The closest practical launch for the Overton Arm is Echo Bay (status has fluctuated; it was listed operable on April 8, 2024), with Callville Bay as a farther‑south backup. Always verify ramp status and park alerts before you commit; shoreline rules and access points around the lake do change.

Conditions to Watch

Lake level is everything here—it dictates how much beach is exposed and where you can safely set a bow and stern line. Afternoon winds often funnel up the Arm, so plan arrivals and departures for calmer morning windows when possible.

Setting & Geology

These coves occupy drowned wash mouths carved into the Overton Arm’s rugged shoreline. After Hoover Dam created Lake Mead, incised alluvial fans and desert canyons along this reach became the sandy, protected embayments boaters enjoy today.

Best Time to Visit

For comfort and calmer water, target mornings and the cooler months of fall through spring. Weekdays typically feel quieter. Summer works for quick swims, but heat and afternoon wind can make it less pleasant.
