About
Lake Powell
The second largest manmade reservoir in the US, Lake Powell has become one of the premiere vacation destinations in Arizona. Straddling the border with Utah, the lake attracts nearly 2 million visitors a year. And beyond the draw of the calming waters, there are nearly 90 side canyons to explore in the area. Nature lovers flock here to take in the scenery, engage in some exhilarating outdoor activities, and camp beneath the stars. The gateway to this lake oasis is Page, AZ. Located at an elevation of near 4000 ft., Page gives visitors great proximity to the lake and all that it has to offer. The lake itself features nearly 2000 miles of shoreline, shoreline that is incidentally composed of a gorgeous rose-colored sand. The red rock cliffs surrounding Lake Powell lend the area an even more majestic feel. Nearby you will also find the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area—which features the dam responsible for the lake’s creation.
