Rent a Boat on Lake PowellLake Powell, the second-largest reservoir in the United States, was created with the completion of the Glen Canyon Dam in 1966. With a capacity of over 24 million acre-feet of water, the lake, situated mainly in Utah but also stretching into Arizona, attracts over two million visitors annually. The city of Page, AZ, serves as the hub for Lake Powell activities, earning its title as the "gateway" to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Boating is the primary attraction, facilitated by numerous boat rentals in Page. As you venture away from the bustling town, the expansive lake, spanning 180 miles with 1,960 miles of shoreline, offers endless coves and canyons, providing opportunities for solitude and exploration.The dynamic nature of Lake Powell is highlighted by its 96 "side" canyons and ever-changing scenery due to fluctuating water levels. Beyond boating, visitors can engage in popular water sports such as wakeboarding and water skiing or try their hand at fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striped bass, walleye, crappie, and catfish. Nature enthusiasts can embark on adventures to explore the natural wonders of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Away from town, stargazing is a mesmerizing experience due to the National Park Service's efforts to minimize light pollution. This allows for breathtaking views of up to 15,000 stars to be seen each night.What to KnowYou can find just about any sort of boat floating on Lake Powell, but there are a few local favorites. When you plan your trip, consider one of these three top picks.Safety RequirementsBoater Education: Boater education is not required but an online safety course is recommended by both Utah and Arizona. Also note that boaters in Utah are required by that state to take a “Mussel Aware” online boater course.Safety Gear: Boaters on Lake Powell are subject to federal regulations, Utah boating regulations, and Arizona boating regulations. All boats must carry United States Coast Guard required safety gear, which is listed out in the USCG regulations. Children under 12 must wear life jackets while underway and outside of a cabin, and “bow riding” on the bow of a boat not designed for sitting in bow seats is illegal.Where to Dock your Boat or Meet your RentalYou think it might be a bit warm where Arizona and Utah meet in the middle of the summer? Well yes, it certainly is. But boaters on Lake Powell have an ace up their sleeve when it comes to a blazing summer sun. Thanks to the tall canyons surrounding much of the lake, it’s usually easy to find some shade.Average High Temperature: 97 degrees is the average high once the summer heat hits.Average Low Temperature: In the middle of the winter low temperatures can creep all the way down to an average low of 25 degrees.Average Water Temperatures in and around Lake Powell:
Fishing boats will be the pick for dedicated anglers. That said, remember that most aren’t suitable for some of the popular activities that require extended time aboard, like camping out and stargazing. On the flip side, most fishing boats are quite fast so you can cruise miles from civilization to fish in peace and quiet, then return to town in short order.
House boats are a top choice among vacationers who often spend a week or even more afloat on Lake Powell. The full suite of amenities means you can spend night after night in comfort, checking out the different canyons and views day by day.
Wakeboard boats are incredibly popular, and with so many people coming here to enjoy wake sports on the water, you’ll find no shortage to choose from.

Things to do on Lake Powell
Explore the CanyonsOne of the most appealing things about Lake Powell is its natural wonders and the awe-inspiring scenery. Just about everyone will agree that it’s best viewed by boat, and going from one canyon to the next provides a never-ending panoramic view of cliffs, sheer rock walls, and geological wonders.Pro Tip: Consider bringing a kayak or paddleboard along for the ride, especially if you visit West Canyon. Many of the canyons (especially this one) have offshoots to explore which are too small or shallow for a boat, but you can still get in with a paddled watercraft.Location: Google Maps LinkClosest Marina: Antalope Point MarinaLat/Long: 37.026383 x 111.176202
Go Fishing for Striped BassThe striped bass may have started out as a saltwater fish, but through stocking programs anglers have discovered that they make an awesome freshwater gamefish. They fight hard, grow larger than most freshwater fish, and taste great. First introduced in Lake Powell in 1974, scientists discovered in 1979 that the fish were able to reproduce naturally due to the lake’s unique hydrology and today they maintain a substantial population.Pro Tip: Most of the time it’s important to have a good fishfinder if you want to catch stripers. They tend to stay deep, often 40 or more feet down, and spotting schools on the meter then fishing vertically is usually a solid bet. In the spring, fish down-lake as snow melt can make the upper sections of the lake significantly cooler.Best Times: As is true with most fishing, sunrise and sunset are usually when the fish bite best.Location:Google Maps LinkLat/Long: 37.003349 x 111.375189
Go Wake SurfingIf you enjoy vigorous physical activity, the thrill of riding waves, and then plunging into the refreshing water, then wake surfing is definitely something you need to try while you’re at Lake Powell.Pro Tip: If the wind is blowing check out a map prior to heading out and look for a canyon that will be sheltered from the breeze. Even on gusty days you can almost always find some calm water to practice your moves.Location:Google Maps LinkClosest Marina: Any!Lat/Long: 37.069868 x 111.237569
Where to Go Boating in Lake Powell
Rainbow Bridge National MonumentRainbow Bridge is one of the world’s largest natural bridges. It’s shaped like a rainbow frozen in rock, and is considered sacred by American Indian tribes. It’s also a 14-mile hike over land to get there — unless you have a boat. Cruise to Forbidding Canyon and you’ll see a sign to the canyon entrance. Then follow another sign into a canyon offshoot, and soon you’ll arrive at the Rainbow Bridge Dock. From there, it’s about a mile’s walk down the path.Nearby Marinas: Rainbow Bridge is mid-lake, and is more or less equidistant from the marinas either up-lake or down-lake. Plan for a couple of hours to get there, whichever direction you come from.Wake Zone: Watch for the buoys, as there is a marked no-wake zone up inside the canyons.Pro Tips: There are floating restrooms at the dock, but no other amenities at the Monument.Lat/Long: 37.077339 x 110.96416
Wahweap BayBisected by the Arizona/Utah boarder, Wahweap Bay is popular for watersports and for having its share of quieter, calmer canyons, mostly along its north shore. Its strongest draw, however, is simply its location. Close to Page and with easy access to most of the lower lake launch points and marinas, it’s the closest portion of Powell to the bulk of the boats on the lake.Nearby Marinas: Wahweap Marina and Stateline Marina are both located on Wahweap Bay.Sea State: Though there are no wake zones around the marinas this can be a very busy area, and since waves tend to bounce off the canyon walls, gets very choppy at times. Expect rough waters, especially on weekends, until getting into one of the notch canyons.Pro Tip: Since it’s so close to civilization, naturally, Wahweap Bay is also among the most congested waterways of Lake Powell. If it’s seclusion you’re looking for, this probably isn’t the best destination and you’ll want to head up-lake.Lat/Long: 37.006156 x 111.478763
Gunsight BayNamed for the canyon with a big notch that looks like a gunsight, Gunsight Bay is a destination for its beaches. While much of the lake is surrounded by sheer walls, at the entrance of this canyon there’s nearly two miles of sandy beach. Nearby Marina: It depends on the water levels in the lake! Antalope Point is the closest when the water is low, but if levels are high enough for Castle Rock Cut (a shortcut between the waterways) to be navigable, the marinas on Wahweap Bay are about as close.Navigation: Be careful inside the canyon, as the “white whales” (underwater rocks) can become more or lass prevalent, and dangerous, as water levels rise and fall.Pro Tip: To enjoy the best views time your trip to be here in late afternoon, when the canyon walls are vibrant with deep orange sunlight.Lat/Long: 37.056691 x 111.342821
