Overview
Lake Powell is a large reservoir on the Colorado River along the Arizona-Utah border, formed by Glen Canyon Dam in the early 1960s. When full it can span well over 150,000 acres across a maze of flooded canyons, making it one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. Its position in the upper Colorado River basin gives it a central role in regional water storage, hydropower, and recreation across the Southwest.
The shoreline is defined by steep red-rock canyon walls, narrow side channels, and hundreds of flooded arms that branch into the surrounding plateau country. Submerged rock structure, points, drop-offs, and long winding coves create dramatic habitat changes as water levels rise and fall. The combination of deep main-channel sections and sheltered canyon waters supports varied conditions across the reservoir.
Lake Powell supports popular sport fisheries including striped bass, largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, and catfish, with fishing often concentrated in canyon arms and near structure. The lake is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for water supply and hydropower and lies within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, drawing boaters, anglers, and visitors from across the country.
