Title: Sightseeing & Activities Around Lake Powell

  • Lake Powell is located in the Glen Canyon
    National Recreation Area at the mouth of the
    Grand Canyon. The lake is breathtakingly
    beautiful with tall canyons, red rock formations,
    and sand dunes. Lake Powell offers visitors an
    abundance of recreational activities.

3
  • Rainbow Bridge is a massive natural arch of
    sandstone and has been preserved as Rainbow
    Bridge National Monument. It was carved over time
    by wind and water and stands as a reminder of the
    sculpting powers of erosion.
  • Rainbow Bridge is only accessible by boat or a
    14-mile hike across Navajo Tribal land.

4
  • Glen Canyon Dam is an impressive display of
    engineering and construction. It was constructed
    for hydroelectric power generation, water
    storage, and to provide recreation opportunities.
    Without the dam, there would be no Lake Powell.

5
  • This geological formation showcases multicolored
    cliffs, plateaus, mesas, buttes, pinnacles, and
    canyons. Available scenic recreational activities
    include horseback riding, mountain biking,
    backpacking, camping, hunting, and fishing.

6
  • A plethora of hiking trails are available to
    explore, with scenery of waterfalls, rock
    formations, and natural arches. There are
    existing trails to follow as well as the
    opportunity to blaze new trails. To get to
    smaller canyons, a kayak or powerboat may be
    necessary.

7
  • Fishing on Lake Powell is on its own level of
    serenity and relaxation. There are many private
    coves for casting a fishing line. Since Lake
    Powell spans Utah and Arizona, a fishing license
    for both states is required. 

8
  • There are no fees to launch a kayak in Glen
    Canyon National Recreation Area, and all launch
    ramps are welcome to any kind of boat. Antelope
    Point and any of the beach camping areas offer
    easy launching points. 

9
  • While in the area, take advantage of visiting the
    Grand Canyon. The North Rim features a lodge and
    dining facilities in addition to camping sites
    along the edge of the canyon. There are many
    sightseeing and hiking opportunities throughout
    the Grand Canyon.

10
  • Papillon is the worlds oldest and largest
    sightseeing company with over 600,000 passengers
    enjoying tours of the Grand Canyon annually.
    There are over forty excursions available
    including the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Monument
