Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs is a peaceful oasis near Las Vegas with ponds, ducks, plenty of other birds, including peacocks and burrowing owls, and trails suitable for an easy stroll.
Las Vegas photographer Cindy van der Velde managed to sneak in a visit to Floyd Lamb Park in between the recent rain showers on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Thanks to changing cottonwoods, there is a bit of fall color happening at Floyd Lamb now, but Cindy says, “Fall still has to start for about 70% of the trees.”
The handful of trees that turn red (we believe these are Chinese pistache trees) are done, Cindy says, but the trees that turn yellow (cottonwoods) are still very green.
Cindy estimates that the next two to three weeks should be a good time to go to the park to see fall color.
Normally, it’s $6 to get in to the park (credit and debit cards only, no cash), but Thanksgiving Day is a free entry day and that could be perfect timing to see Southern Nevada fall foliage at Floyd Lamb Park.
A Fun Fact About Floyd Lamb Park
The City of Las Vegas operates Floyd Lamb Park. Oh, and an interesting tidbit: fossilized remains of the extinct mammoth were found in the park. So many mammoths used to hang out here that it’s been dubbed “mammoth central.”
