KAYAKING
LAKE POWELL
May 2009
Lake Powell is located in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and was created by the building of the Glen Canyon Dam. Lake Powell is and excellent location for sea kayaking because the many narrow canyons and spectacular alcoves. We launched our kayaks at Bullfrog Marina and paddled 10 mile north up the reservoir and made a base camp. From there we day paddled many of the canyons one of which was Forgotten Canyon where we hiked up to Defiance House which are Anasazi Indian ruins built into the cliffs. We were on constant watch for storms that often form in the afternoon. One day we had just made it back to camp when a storm hit and was blowing hard enough to blow our tents flat. On our way home we visited Capital Reef and Zion National Park.
