Lake Powell Marinas and Boating

By far the most popular activity in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is boating. By private boat or by a rental from one of the park's conssesioners, almost two million visitors enjoy the deep turquoise waters of Lake Powell.

There are five marinas where you can launch your private vessel. There are fees for your boat to enter Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Zebra Mussel Advisory - Zebra mussels are an exotic species that can pose a threat to the waters of Lake Powell and those who use them for recreation, irrigation, or power generation. If your boat has been in Zebra mussel infected waters, please read this important advisory.

All Boaters must follow federal and state regulations.
