Lake Powell is a large resevoir on the Colorado river with a 150 mile channel and approx. 2000 miles of shore line. On the Arizona-Utah border. Lake Powell is a large turquois body of water set in a mind-boggling landscape of red-rock formations, canyons, mesas, caves, arches and buttes. Achingly beautiful. Great summer fishing, too! Lake is mostly open water and remote canyons, plus a few beaches. There are a number of marinas along the river, all have store and fuel and most have slips, lodging and restaurants as well. Fabulous water sports, can rent jet-skis, etc. Boat comes with large tow-tube and wake board. Summer is peak season and busy, tho the lake is too big to actually be crowded. Sometime social scene on lone rock beach & others (maybe you'll find a waterslide constructed on the beach by people always willing to share the fun, or better yet, build your own w/portable on board h2o pump). Winter, the lake is starkly empty. boat has propane heater w/CO alarms in each sleep space.
