You can explore the area and find several small arches and caves.

Rock Creek Canyon, Middle Rock Creek Canyon, and Dry Rock Creek Canyon are all accessed off of Buoy 36 at Lake Powell. The canyons are each wonderful places for relaxing on a beach, fishing, or taking in a sunrise / sunset against the towering red rock buttes. Rock Creek Canyon is located in South Lake Powell and is best reached from Wahweap Marina. These canyons are out of the wind, so they are a great location for waterskiing.

Hike and Swim through Labyrinth Canyon

This hike is a perfect day activity from boating/houseboating/camping Lake Powell. We were houseboating by Gunsight/Cookie Jar Buttes and boated across the bay to Labyrinth Bay. We jumped out when the canyon became too narrow for the ski boat and swam the slot canyon. Wear your life jacket. I have been a competitive swimmer for 17 years and still wore my life jacket. It gets extremely hot and ...

Reflection Canyon

Backpacking Reflection Canyon is not for the faint of heart. It's an intense, challenging hike that takes you through slot canyons, climbing up and down shifty sandstones and traversing rugged terrains and ravines. Although the elevation gain is almost nothing, the up and down climbs from one ravine to the next really messes with your head once you've gotten 3.5 miles into the hike, knowing you...

The coordinates for the trailhead are 37.324812,-111.023019. To get there head east on highway 12 out of Escalante, Utah until you get to Hole in the Rock Road. Follow Hole in the Rock Road 41.6 miles until you see a road on the left. Follow that abo...

Hike Hole in the Rock

Hole in the Rock is a historic site in Utah where the Mormon Pioneers had to dynamite a path down the mountain to get through to the Colorado River. The pathway at Hole in the Rock is still cleared out, and you get to hike through the path that these enduring people traveled, bringing wagons down with all of their stuff and their oxen.The Colorado River has now become part of Lake Powell, so yo...

Kayak Camp on Lake Powell

Kayak camping right on the beaches of Lake Powell and then paddling out into the stillness of the morning to hike antelope canyon is one of my all time favorite memories. Just across from the Antelope Point Launch Ramp is a fantastic beach with several flat areas that are perfect for tent camping. We rented our kayaks (info below) and while one paddled across the lake to the launch to load ou...

Kayak Antelope Canyon

Antelope Canyon is perhaps the most well-known and most photographed slot canyon in the United States. But many people probably don’t realize that you can also kayak a portion of the canyon. Just five miles north of Lower Antelope Canyon on BIA Highway N22B is access to Lake Powell. From here, you can kayak the 2.5 miles from Antelope Point through Antelope Canyon. The water in the canyon e...
