RedactedNarrative: On 07/16/2019, I Game Warden was at Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LMNRA) when I received a call from Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) Dispatch that there was a single vessel accident at Lovers Cove on Lake Mead with no injuries and all occupants were safe on land. Myself and Game Warden responded via patrol boat to assist.
  
  I arrived on scene at approximately 1448 hours and saw one vessel on shore with 5 occupants on the beach. Vessel 1 (V1) was on the beach with a damaged engine and taking on water from the waves. Approximately 3-5 foot waves. The operator told me that he shut the engine off as they were approaching the beach to avoid a rock when the waves began to swamp the vessel over the stern. Operator then beached V1 to avoid sinking and the waves hitting the stern of V1 damaged the engine separating it from the transom. This was caused by the vessel rocking from the waves and hitting the bottom while beached according to Operator.
  
  This event was a single vessel accident caused by swamping and colliding with the ground due to hazardous weather conditions for the vessel.
