Elevated’s guide to boating Lake Powell

Page · Utah / Arizona

Lake Powell

Red-rock canyons. Warm water. Miles of places to explore.

Lake Powell is a Colorado River reservoir in Glen Canyon, mostly in Utah with the dam and Page in Arizona. This is not a Saturday Chatfield substitute. It’s a trip: trailering, marinas, fuel planning, canyon water, and days that don’t look like Front Range reservoirs at all.

The canyons. You don’t get this in Colorado.

Best for · Destination weeks · Cruising · Canyon exploring

Suggested trips: Weekend Getaway, Weeklong Adventure. A lake can fit more than one.

Elevated tip

Powell is why some families want a different boat than the one they surf at Horsetooth. Tell us the trip before we spec the garage.

What boaters actually want to know.

Water

Canyon reservoir. Water level moves. Canyons, not a ski-lake footprint.

Marinas

Wahweap and Antelope Point near Page, Arizona. Bullfrog and Halls Crossing in Utah.

Fuel

Marina fuel on the lake — plan it. The water is long and services are not on every corner.

Lodging

Page, AZ and lake marinas / lodges. Bullfrog is remote on purpose.

Trailer / access

A serious tow from the Front Range. Treat it like a trip, not an errand.
