Things To Do

Horseshoe Bend

Join other hikers at a panoramic view of a 270 degree bend in the Colorado River.

Boating

Lake Powell is a premier location for boating opportunities, whether in a luxury houseboat or small fishing skiff.

Camping

Rest your head, but don't forget to enjoy the stars.

Hiking

The recreation area has few maintained trails, but we have suggestions for hiking routes all over the backcountry.

Guided Tours

Don't have a boat? Not a problem. Take a tour on the lake, on the river, or in the dam. Perhaps even the skies!

Off Road Vehicle Driving

Glen Canyon offers amazing opportunities for exploration. Explore the backcountry on designated ORV routes and areas.

Kayaking

If motorboats aren't your thing, glide across the deep blue lake or ride the gentle current of the Colorado River under your own power.

Biking

Bikes (and e-bikes) are vehicles, and vehicles are only permitted on established roads. Check here for great area rides.

Fishing

Got fish? Glen Canyon does. Know the rules and regulations before you head out with your fishing poles.

Scenic Drives

Fill up your gas tank and hit the Burr Trail or Hole-in-the-Rock Road!

Swimming

Nothing is better on a hot summer day than a dip in the clear waters of Lake Powell.
