Create an itinerary including Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
Replete with plateaus, crevasses, and vast expanses of desert terrain, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area also boasts the extensive Lake Powell and its host of outdoor and water activities. Spanning 507,649 ha (1,254,429 acres) in Utah and Arizona, the area borders several national parks. Take part in water sports, such as waterskiing, inner tubing or boating. Or lounge on a rented houseboat on Lake Powell, which presents a cool contrast to the stark, arid landscape. If you're bringing your own boat, you can launch it at one of the marinas along the shore. If you stay on dry land, you can explore the park's network of hiking trails through its canyons and hills. Cliff-diving into Lake Powell is strictly forbidden (and very dangerous).

  • There’s no one here and she wanted to charge us 30 bucks. We had an old card that expired so she was nice enough to change it out and give it to us military. We will be able to use it in the future...

  • Lake Powell is one of the most beautiful places in this country. We went 20 years ago and rented a house boat. This time we tried camping and paddle boarding. Would recommend boating so you can see more of the water and beautiful red canyon mountains. Was sad to see the water levels so low. We all need to come up with some solutions so this beautiful place is not lost forever!
  • The view of the dam is truly breathtaking it being so far away down on the Colorado River. From atop of the canyon overlook, it was amazing. Free parking and no admission. Just winding a kind of hard to walk down rocks and steps to get to the overlook.
