When is the best time to visit Lake Powell?

The best time to go to Lake Powell is between the months of April and October when one can make the most of this incredible outdoor setting.

But with breathtaking sunsets and numerous water sport opportunities, this the perfect time of year to go. Autumn is equally pleasant with warm days – daytime temperatures in the high 20s – cool nights, great fishing and less boat traffic.
