Lake Powell Reservoir Photoup

Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona, United States. Most of Lake Powell, along with Rainbow Bridge National Monument, is located in Utah. This was an unusual attraction because of the bridge and dam. 

For those who want to drive their cars, Lake Powell offers excellent opportunities for boat camping and some limited opportunities. See the Driving the Lake page for "car camping" options. There are many choices for boat campers. Finding a nice, isolated stretch of beach and setting up a camp on the shore is the most popular choice. The campers are going to "live" on the shore many times and sleep on the boat. You should have a lot of options depending on your boat and the number in your group. There are many "rocky" sites that you could set up a camp, but if you plan to sleep on the shore, this could make it hard to sleep.  

Check out the visitor center for information and great views of the dam. The water was beautiful, and the vastness of the lake is mind-blowing.
