Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River. It is mainly in southeastern Utah with a small portion in northeastern Arizona in the United States. About 186 miles (299 km) long, it is formed by the Glen Canyon Dam, built in Glen Canyon in the 1960s. The lake is a popular area for boating and fishing, attracting over 2 million visitors each year; but it has flooded many important natural and archaeological sites. Other than the Colorado River, the Escalante River and San Juan River also flow into the reservoir.

Marinas [change]

Lake Powell has five active marinas. The main function of the marinas at Lake Powell is to provide an access point for boaters to launch and retrieve their watercraft. Each marina has limited services, such as boat refueling, short term docking, food services and boat rentals. [1]
