Glen Canyon National Recreation Area


Description:
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (NRA) offers unparalleled opportunities for water-based & backcountry recreation. The recreation area stretches for hundreds of miles from Lees Ferry in Arizona to the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah, encompassing scenic vistas, geologic wonders, and a panorama of human history. Additionally, the controversy surrounding the construction of Glen Canyon Dam and the creation of Lake Powell contributed to the birth of the modern day environmental movement. The park offers opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, backcountry hiking and four-wheel drive trips.


Directions:
Plane - The City of Page is served by a commercial commuter airline. Charter flights are available from Page and Salt Lake City to other areas on the lake.

In-park shuttle services are available at Wahweap, Bullfrog, Halls Crossing, and Hite.
