What a beautiful area. Our kayaking group from Orlando FL area rented a house boat at Bull Frog Marina and roamed the canyons of Lake Powell Utah for a week. Yes we transported kayaks on the houseboat and anchored at a different sppot daily. What an amazing adventure.
Thank you all who work at this park. It's beautiful, well managed.

Favorite place to be on our boat. Unfortunately the service at Offshore is the absolute worst. Don't ever count on Offshore Marina to service your boat or even look at it for that matter.

Access with National Parks pass, otherwise you have to pay.
Lake Powell has a very quiet beach. There is a toilet block, but no shower. Water shoes are not necessary, although there are some stones.
Unfortunately there are no beach bars at all.

This place receives a one but only because an extremely rude woman was at the entrance gate. She greeted us with a- hurry up, I have an emergency. Come on, get your money ready. Hury up. I don't have time to wait for you." The name on my receipt says "SaJoh." Completely ruined my excitement for the resort and park. And she slammed the window door on us after we paid and handed her a signed receipt.

Nice boat trip under the dam and me the antelope canyon from the lake. 1 hour and a half is a good time not to get bored and see the lake. The Rock Castle with its filmographic memories is beautiful (Charlton Eston .. planet of the monkeys .. etc), beautiful view of the tower butte).

Amazing scenery, Overwhelming vistas... You see an escarpment etc and think, wow that's big, and think it is maybe 5 miles long Then you drive towards or along it... And its 30 miles or more, and far further away. One needs to see it to appreciate it, gobsmacking, as we say

Awesome place to be a daredevil. If you stand on the edge and get a photo without falling in use the hashtag #daredevilrock on social media. It's fun and only mildly life endangering. ;)

If you're near the north rim of the grand canyon, make this a stop on along your way. You'll pass right by if you're travelling south from utah to the canyon. Incredible views of the Colorado River. They offer tours of the damn, but I didn't have time to take one.

Everyone, please make sure you have a national park ticket. They will not tell you ahead of time, and it's not on the website. It cost additional $15.00 per person.
Btw, They will not allow pocket knife. I dont have one but in case anyone has one. Leave it in the car.

Seriously, one of the most amazing natural features in the United States of America. An ancient River that carves its way through a desert is remarkable to look at. Worth the hike and price, come see the natural wonders on this vast continent.

We camped at Lone Rock Beach Campground. It is beautiful. You can camp right at the water's edge. I recommend you go here with at least one four wheel drive vehicles, which could pull you other out if you get stuck. The sand is very soft and powdery.
Nice on bare feet.
Great for swimming, boating, jet skiing, kayaking.
Because the sand is soft and powdery, when the wind blows hard, it can create sandstorms which usually only last a short time, but make sure all you stuff is tied down.
It is very hot here in the summer, (We were here early September) but you have the beautiful lake to cool off in. The water is cool enough to be refreshing, but not too cold either. It was just right.
Love this place. It is so beautiful.
