3 FACT SHEET ADDRESS Lake Powell Resort 100 Lake Shore Drive Page, AZ Defiance House Lodge Hwy 276 Bullfrog, Utah Directions available at lakepowell.com/directions PHONE for reservations WEBSITE lakepowell.com, facebook.com/visitlakepowell BACKGROUND The lake is 186 miles long and has nearly 2,000 miles of shoreline. Straddling the Arizona- Utah border, its sapphire blue water is rimmed by towering red sandstone cliffs, buttes, and more than 90 major canyons and beautiful sandy beaches making it the ideal destination for houseboating, kayaking and other outdoor activities. Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas is one of the largest concessioners on the lake, operating marinas, lodges, restaurants, tours and houseboat/watercraft rentals in Arizona and Utah. It operates primarily out of two hubs: Wahweap Marina, located in Arizona near the town of Page, and at Bullfrog Marina, located mid-lake in Utah. In addition to the robust operations at these two destinations, Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas also offers amenities at Halls Crossing Marina, Hite and Dangling Rope Marina, all in Utah. SEASON Lake Powell is open year-round, however, peak visitation occurs between late May through October, with July and August being the busiest months. HISTORY Lake Powell is the nation s second largest man-made reservoir. It was created by the damming of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon in order to provide drinking water and generate electricity for western cities such as Los Angeles and Phoenix, and to provide a place for recreation. The lake is named in honor of John Wesley Powell, who explored the area in 1869 as director of the U.S. Geological Survey. The lake lies within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which was created in 1972 to provide for public use and enjoyment and to preserve the area s scientific, historic, and scenic features. The recreation area received more than two million visitors in 2012, 100,000 of whom stayed on a houseboat operated by Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas. FEES As a part of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, there is an entrance fee for each private, non-commercial vehicle and its passengers that is valid for seven consecutive days.

4 LAKE POWELL AT A GLANCE Lake Powell is the second-largest man-made lake by surface area in the United States and is the largest based on current volume and surface area. The lake is 186 miles long and has 1,960 miles of shoreline due to its countless inlets and side-canyons. Lake Powell s shoreline is longer than the west coast of the continental United States. There are 96 named canyons along Lake Powell and many smaller ones that are unnamed. Lake Powell is named in honor of John Wesley Powell, the one-armed Civil War veteran who explored the area in 1869 as director of the U.S. Geological Survey. Construction of the Glen Canyon Dam started in 1956 and continued until It took 17 years for the lake to fill once the dam was completed. Lake Powell provides at least 7,500,000 acre-feet of water to Arizona, Nevada and California per year enough water to accommodate the needs of 30 million families. The lake s maximum depth is 560 feet, making it one of the deepest lakes in the nation. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established in 1972 and encompasses 1.25 million acres. Lake Powell, for which Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established, occupies only 13 percent of the recreation area. Most of the lake rests in the State of Utah; its southernmost portion and Glen Canyon Dam are in Arizona. In 2013, 2,012,967 people visited Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Over 100,000 people explore Lake Powell via houseboat each year. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is bordered by Capitol Reef and Canyonlands National Parks to the north, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument to the west, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and Grand Canyon National Park on its southwest side, and the Navajo Indian Reservation on the southeast.
