St. Thomas is a ghost town located in Clark County, Nevada. The construction of Hoover Dam and the resulting rise in the waters of the Colorado River forced the abandonment of the town, with the last resident leaving on June 11, 1938.

You can only visit when the water level in Lake Meade is low...when its high the ghost town is submerged. The ruins are protected by the National Park Service as a historic site. The town's cemetery was relocated to Overton, Nevada to the north.
