Low Water Update
March 17, 2023
Dear Partners:
- South Lake Powell – Stateline Auxiliary Ramp: This ramp remains operable 24/7 to motorized vessels of all sizes. The park is working with Aramark to extend the Stateline Auxiliary Ramp and contractors will be on site beginning Monday, March 20. (This schedule is subject to change.) The work is expected to be completed in April. As was done last season during construction activities, the ramp will provide 24/7 access on boiler plates on one side of the ramp, while concrete is poured on the other side. When the new concrete has cured, access will rotate to the other side. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the park believes the bathymetry at this ramp will ensure sustainable, long-term motorized vessel access to south Lake Powell. The Stateline Auxiliary ramp is open for paddle craft users until May 1, 2023.
- Due to the complex mix of factors that affect Lake Powell’s water levels, Lake Powell boaters are asked to please be aware that it will not be known when the lake reaches a certain water level until it occurs. Information about Lake Powell marina services and water level statistics are available 24/7 at this website: Changing Lake Levels - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (U.S. National Park Service). Before heading to the lake, boaters should check the park’s website for the status of their preferred launch/retrieval destination. Information is also available at this link LAKE POWELL AT GLEN CANYON DAM, AZ - USGS Water Data for the Nation
