Beautiful scenery, lots of amenities. If you love boating there is plenty of water and lots of places to go. Great fishing. The water is inviting for swimming..Hiking trails...I never know what or where to go next. Make sure you allow extra time to explore this vast area!

We spent 3 days on Lake Powell on a 59 ft houseboat with some of our children and grandchildren. We all agreed Lake Powell was the best place for a houseboat vacation. The scenery was absolutley amazing. Houseboating can involve some work especially when it is your first experience, but you see things you wouldn't see any other way. You... More

We totally enjoyed our three days on Lake Powell. This was made possible by the good people at the Lake Powell Marina managed by Aramark. The staff and management of the boat rental / marina were extremely helpful and professional in every step of the rental process. Their help and recommendations made the trip extremely successful We can't wait to... More

We paid for the park entrance and drove along lake powell. Loved the views and waters. There were also several lookout points which you could get a good view of the lake.

There is so much to do, it leaves you wondering where to start. So, all I'll say is, if you can't find something here that interests you, you are in the wrong part of the Country and need to look for your vacation spot elsewhere. There are boat tours galore, or you can even rent a boat or houseboat and... More

The view of the dam and Lake Powell was amazing! There was lots to see inside the visitor center. I wish I could have stayed longer. We had just taken the Colorado River Discovery raft trip and it was cool to see the river from above. We didn't have a lot of time after our float but it was still... More

Genle paced drift through sheer sided canyon, with well informed guides, makes this a wonderful trip and well worth the effort. take something warm it can be cool.

Lake Powell is very beautiful at sunset and sunrise times. We went in early April and the temperature was very comfortable. Crowds were non-existent at sunset and sunrise times, and the reflections of the sun on the rocks were just hypnotizing - we did not want to leave! I took two contrasting pictures at the same spot, Wahweep Overlook (along... More
