| Glen Canyon National Recreation Area offers unparalleled opportunities for water-based and backcountry recreation. The recreation area stretches for hundreds of miles from Lees Ferry in Arizona to the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah, encompassing scenic vistas, geologic wonders, and a panorama of human history. Additionally, the controversy surrounding the construction of Glen Canyon Dam and the creation of Lake Powell contributed to the birth of the modern day environmental movement. The park offers opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, backcountry hiking and four-wheel drive trips.Other recreational opportunities include boat camping, water-based recreation, summer ranger programs, half and full-day tours to Rainbow Bridge, backpacking in the Escalante or Orange Cliffs, and exploring the Lake Powell's numerous side canyons by boat. |
