Lake Powell’s Iceberg Canyon.
Lake Powell in south central Utah has 1,960 miles of shoreline and stretches 180 miles northeast from the Utah/Arizona border. This, the most immense of the Utah lakes, is one of the most starkly beautiful locations in the entire US. Lake Powell can be accessed via 4 different points from 3 highways.

Lake Powell is an excellent place to do a little house-boating, fishing, swimming and water skiing. Exploring Lake Powell’s countless narrow side-canyons is one of the great pleasures the lake affords. Cruising Lake Powell’s seemingly endless waters and camping on its beaches is all the excitement some visitors need, but hiking to the rugged Glen Canyon Recreation Area is possible from the lake.

Anglers at Lake Powell find the fishing excellent. There are large populations of striped, largemouth and smallmouth bass here. Crappies, sunfish and bluegills are numerous, and channel catfish can also be caught from Lake Powell.
