News Release: June 6, 2024
Safety Guidelines During Lake Powell’s Spring Runoff

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is pleased to announce that snowpack in the headwaters of the Colorado River and its tributaries is resulting in a spring runoff that is positively affecting Lake Powell water levels for the 2024 summer boating season. Rapidly rising water levels in Lake Powell also require increased attention to important safety measures.

Use caution when anchoring your vessel or parking your vehicle, since during spring runoff lake levels can rise up to two feet per day and result in rapid changes to the shoreline. Property left near the shoreline can quickly become submerged in mud and/or water. Depending on the grade of land, a foot of water rising vertically will cover approximately 30 to 50 feet of land horizontally. Visitors should park 300 to 400 feet away from water's edge, as a week-long visitor’s vehicle could be inundated (depending on the inflow of water and location). While boating, always approach the shore with caution and watch for shallows and submerged debris. Boat operators need to use extreme caution while navigating the lake, as large debris may be present. Boaters are advised to follow the main channel buoys which mark good water. Crossing over may result in accidents due to water barely covering shelves, such as at Buoy 94 near Stanton Creek. Additional safety information can be found at: https://www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/safety.htm

Please be aware that due to many dynamic factors affecting Lake Powell’s water elevations, it is not possible to know when a specific water level will be reached. Please be sure to check the park’s Changing Lake Levels webpage for the status of lake levels and Lake Powell boat ramps and marina services, prior to heading to the lake: https://www.nps.gov/glca/learn/changing-lake-levels.htm. As of June 5, Lake Powell's elevation was 3571.83 feet Above Sea Level (ASL). Lake Powell's daily elevations are also posted at: https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/09379900/ =62614&period=P7D&showMedian=true and https://lakepowell.water-data.com/

A safe and enjoyable park experience begins with planning. Visitors are encouraged to educate themselves on current alerts and conditions: https://www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/conditions.htm The park wishes everyone an enjoyable and safe boating experience during the summer of 2024!

More park information is available on each park’s website: Glen Canyon National Recreation Area or Rainbow Bridge National Monument

Stateline Launch Ramp is our fave. ✨ Hey, it may not be Four Corners but it’s right on the Arizona-Utah border, it’s the largest ramp on the lake, the drive there is beautiful. Plus, who wouldn’t love this view? 😎 Take a peek on National Park Service's we**am!

Arizona boasts some incredible landscapes, and our red rock sunsets are truly unbeatable! 🌅 There’s something about the silhouette of a glowing canyon wall, towering over the shimmering water… It’s unlike anything else. Pretty magical, don’t you think? ✨

People often ask if the cut at Castle Rock is open, and the answer is: YES! 🎉 Check out the photo from 2010 when they dredged 20’ down…that’s why the pass can stay open, even during a drought. ☀️ This shortcut can save you a lot of time, but remember: it’s a no-wake zone.

Looking for a great photo op? 📸 Check out the Carl Hayden Visitor Center! It’s got exhibits, history, and tours of Glen Canyon Dam. At 710-feet tall, and 10 million tons, this thing is massive. It’s been holding back the Colorado River to create Lake Powell since the 1960s.

Monsoon season is here! 🌬 Not familiar? These storms usually appear in the afternoon, with black clouds, wind, and torrential rain. 🌧 But they also cool down the air, and create beautiful canyon waterfalls. Monsoon season runs through August - we’ll keep you posted!

Lake Powell is loaded with all sorts of local wildlife. So keep your eyes peeled for our long-legged friend: the Great Blue Heron. This little guy was taking it easy in the shade, and we don’t blame him. It’s been a scorching 95°F / 35°C today! 😎

What the heck is desert varnish?🌵 See it in Navajo Canyon: an amazing pattern of streaks that paint the towering canyon walls. Cruise through Lake Powell’s gorgeous emerald green waters for a 20mi/32km route, and marvel at this natural phenomenon.

It’s official: summer is here! 🌞 That means the days are long, the lake is warm, and it’s time to rev your engines at Lake Powell. Summer is always over just a little too soon, so hurry up and hit the waves while things are in full swing.

Throwback Thursday 🤗 The Canyon King BEFORE it became a pizzeria! Remember this beauty on the water? If you visited Lake Powell in the 80s, 90s or early 2000s, you would. The King has since retired from giving tours of Lake Powell - but you can visit this historic gem on dry land in Page, AZ for a slice. 🍕

Only two more weeks until it‘s officially summer! The lake is still a bit chilly at 73°F / 22°C 🐟 but the air temp is already up to 92°F / 33°C! Things are warming up fast... 🌞

Woohoo! 🎉 We are now open for our 2018 season. We’ll be ready to set you up for adventure on the water, 7 days a week. It may be hot out, but the water is cool, and Lake Powell is calling...
