Lake Powell

Elevation: 3,700 feet (1,250 meters)

Contained within over 1800 miles of shoreline, Lake Powell is the heart of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Stretching 186 miles, it is the largest man-made lake in the world.

Halls Crossing and Hite, two of the five marinas on the lake, are in San Juan County; and all furnish fuel, fishing gear, groceries, general merchandise, boat rentals, water toys, and tours.

Although there are few marked trails, the sandstone cliffs and canyons invite short hikes. Boat tours to Rainbow Bridge National Monument leave daily from Halls Crossing Marina. For a bird's eye view, scenic flights are available at the Cal Black Memorial Airport, also at Halls Crossing. Campgrounds are operated by both the National Park Service and the concessionaire.

Fry Canyon, forty miles southeast of Hite Marina on Utah Highway 95, was once a busy hub of uranium mining. Today, serene and undisturbed, Fry Canyon Lodge offers up-to-date comfort in cabin-like rooms, home cooked meals, and gasoline.

Popular day tours include the Maze District of Canyonlands and Capitol Reef National Parks, Goblin Valley State Park, the Burr Trail, the Henry Mountains, and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The John Atlantic Burr Ferry crosses daily between Halls Crossing and Bullfrog Marinas on a regular schedule. The ferry accommodates large motorhomes. Full services.
