State Route 169 (SR 169) is a state highway in Clark County, Nevada, USA. It connects the Lake Mead National Recreation Area as well as the communities of Overton, Logandale, and the rest of the Moapa Valley to Interstate 15. While not part of SR 169 proper, the Valley of Fire Road and White Domes Road, within Valley of Fire State Park, connect to this route and are designated as Nevada Scenic Byways. The former, maintained by Clark County west of the park,[2] was formerly signed as part of SR 169,[3] and was earlier State Route 40.[4] It is also called Northshore Road, Moapa Valley Boulevard, Valley of Fire Road, and Logandale Road.
