Boating
Lake Powell in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is one of the premier boating destinations in the world. Wahweap is the most active center for boat excursions on Lake Powell, including the popular trip to Rainbow Bridge National Monument, but several other marinas and launch points exist. In addition to power boats and houseboats, kayaks and sailboats also enjoy the waters of Lake Powell. No boat? No problem because boats and other boating equipment are available for rent. See our Boating Guide for more information on the boating opportunities on Lake Powell.
