Lake Powell
See some of the most spectacular scenery in the American West – by water – with a trip to the otherworldly Lake Powell.
One of the premier boating destinations in the world, this vast placid blue lake surrounded by beautiful sandstone walls, offers plentiful sunshine, warm waters, and innumerable water-based activities year-round. Cruise or kayak down the canyon bends, paddleboard from one shore to another, or stay the night and day in a houseboat to take in the ethereal setting. Lake Powell’s scenic vistas across multicoloured sandstone canyons span almost 2,000 miles of shoreline, letting you experience the iconic desert landscape from a whole new perspective.
Stretching from the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah to the beginning of the Grand Canyon at Lees Ferry in Arizona, Lake Powell is located in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the Glen Canyon Dam in 1963. Technically a man-made reservoir, this incredible body of water is now a popular destination – and for good reason.
