With nearly 2,000 miles of shoreline, endless sunshine, warm water, perfect weather and some of the most spectacular scenery in the west, Lake Powell is the ultimate playground. Rent a houseboat or enjoy our Resorts and hotel and hop aboard a guided expedition. Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona (most of it, along with Rainbow Bridge, is in Utah). It is a major vacation spot that around 2 million people visit every year. It is the second largest man-made reservoir by maximum water capacity in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet (3.0001×1010 m3) of water when full. Due to high water withdrawals for human and agricultural consumption, and because of subsequent droughts in the area, Lake Powell is currently the largest reservoir in the United States in terms of capacity of water currently held, depth and surface area. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869. Whether you rent a powerboat, personal watercraft, water skis, wakeboard, paddleboard, tube, or kayak, there’s no shortage of great places to play and explore on Lake Powell. Lake Powell is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States. It is part of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Lake Powell was created when the Colorado River was blocked by the newly constructed Glen Canyon Dam in 1963. It took 17 years to for the lake to fill. The north end of Lake Powell, located in southern Utah, offers our guests an endless amount of things to do and see.
