Water levels at Lake Powell on the rise – caution

Lake Powell boaters are enjoying higher lake levels as last winter’s significant upstream snowpack melts.

Water levels are now rising 6 to 15 inches in a 24 hour period. As a result, the main launch ramp at Bullfrog has sufficient water to cover the old coffer dam and is no longer, “at your own risk.”

The Antelope Point Marina launch ramp is expected to be open after NPS staff install and adjust marine infrastructure to provide for boater safety and access.

Visitors need to be aware of their property and keep it a safe distance from the rising shoreline.

Vehicles should be parked 200 to 300 yards away from the water’s edge so they will not become submerged and potentially towed.
