Planning a Lake Powell Trip
Lake Powell is a desert reservoir whose full pool sits at 3,700 feet, and the month you
choose changes the trip more than the boat you rent does. Water temperature, wind,
thunderstorms and crowding all move on different schedules, and the shoulder seasons
are not simply quieter versions of summer.
These guides cover when to come and what each part of the year is actually like on the
water, plus how the lake's shape — long, narrow and branching — governs how far you can
realistically get from where you started.
