When you take a LAKE POWELL HOUSE BOAT VACATION you are doing more than just kicking back on a house boat, although if that sounds good it is always an option.  There are many activities to engage in at and on Lake Powell.  Watching the sunset from the deck is just one of the spectacular sights you can see when on a Lake Powell vacation.

While on your houseboat you will explore the lake in style (air conditioning, microwave, VCR), while sleeping in soft beds at night.  If you didn’t bring a personal water vessel consider renting one.  These are perfect for getting off the houseboat for further exploration.

Sights to see:

Rainbow Bridge - Boat to this remarkable site - the largest natural bridge in the world - using your own boat, a rental, or jump on the tour boat.

Dam and Visitor Center - Peer over the edge of the dam at the river far below, and tour the adjacent visitor center.

Canyons - Explore the lake’s distant canyons (Escalante and San Juan arms). Camp on the beach and enjoy solitude under the stars.

Things to do:

Tour - half-day or full-day tours are available of some of the most scenic parts of the lake.

Water Ski or Wake Board - Hit the big bays first thing in the morning, while the water is glassy.

Fish - Catch smallmouth bass, striped bass, walleye, catfish, crappie and bluegill in the lake’s canyons and bays.

Hike – You will love the challenge of difficult routes like West Canyon or the Black Hole of White Canyon, or enjoy more leisurely strolls along the beaches and into side canyons.

Take up Sea Kayaking - Explore the lake’s twisting canyons from a canoe or kayak.
