A Lake Powell summer vacation offers loads of fun for the whole family. From mountain bike rentals, guided kayak tours, hiking, Colorado River float trips, ski boat rentals, wake boarding, scuba diving, snorkeling or four-wheeling. Take an afternoon to enjoy one of these fantastic activities or rent a houseboat and enjoy the water and fun 24/7.

Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas has houseboats with a range of amenities to fit your budget range and the size of your vacation party. A houseboat offers all the comforts of home including dishwasher, refrigerator, bathrooms with shower, and comfortable beds and bedding. Houseboats also have the advantage of being mobile so you can lazily float down the lake, finding private coves or anchor for time to take out a Runabout or Baja motor boats.

Lake Powell offers excellent opportunities for not only houseboat vacations but fishing, swimming and water skiing. Lake Powell has a myriad of side canyons that narrow to just a boat width as they twist away from the main channel and make for fascinating exploration. Try cruising the waters by houseboat and spend nights on its beaches under the stars. When you feel the need to plant your feet on solid ground dock and go hiking in the rugged beautiful terrain found in the surrounding significant national parks in the area including Arches, Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef.

For “civilized” recreation come inland for some year round fun on the 9-hole Lake Powell National Golf Course. Most of the time, you can walk on to the course without a tee time, unless there is a tournament. National Park Reservations offers pain-free reservations assistance in booking rooms at Waweap Lodge, Bullfrog Defiance Lodge, and the Courtyard of Page; in Page check out shopping, restaurants and even museums to make your vacation complete.
