There is a father son/son YouTube channel where they fish on Lake Meade and they have been showing the water levels for some time. Pretty shocking to see how far the water has dropped over just a few years. They are finding boats and bodies all over the place. I really enjoyed watching them. If it rained, they'd head there and show the water flows, etc.
Then they posted a video and said they were no longer allowed to video the lake. It has been made illegal to film there (and other places), so under threat of being fined, they had to stop. It was a great way to see the reality of it. I was there about 10 years ago and to see how far it's dropped is just insane.

NPS, On its website, now states, “Effective October 28, 2022, the National Park Service rescinded interim guidance that was in place during litigation regarding commercial filming and has returned to longstanding laws and regulations governing commercial filming in parks.”

And more specifically from the article John linked to:
"These rules do not mean much if all that is being done is filming (recording video) for personal use. This is and always has been allowed by NPS. The park service says non-commercial filming includes “student films or videos filmed at Lake Mead National Recreation Area by another government agency or park partner, not intended for commercial use.”
However, if someone is recording video commercially, especially to be put on YouTube or other platforms for profit, then these rules are important. NPS says, “Commercial filming is defined as a digital or film recording of a visual image or sound recording by a person, business or other entity for a market audience, such as for a documentary, television or feature film, advertisement or similar project.”
