An Overview of Houseboating on Lake Powell

Houseboating is a fun and easy way to explore and travel the unique waters of North America. Imagine watching the sunset from the deck of your own personal floating palace. Lake Powell offers excellent opportunities for you to enjoy your houseboat rental: fishing, and in summer when water temperatures climb to a comfortable 70-80 degrees, swimming and water skiing. Lake Powell has a myriad of side canyons that narrow to just a boat width as they twist away from the main channel and make for fascinating exploration. Many visitors are content to just cruise Lake Powell's waters by houseboat and spend nights on Glen Canyon's beaches under the stars. Hiking from the lake into the very rugged environs of Glen Canyon Recreation Area is an option for the adventurous.
