When it is closed, you may park on the sides of the ramp for paddlecraft or beach use. Also seen in the shot are Government Docks - used by all the agencies who have jurisdiction at Lake Powell (federal, state, county, etc.), and the pumpout you use to empty out your vessel of blackwater after your trip. Across the lake you can see Navajo Mountain, Tower Butte, and other rock features. The image will update every 10 minutes.

Lake Powell was created in 1963 with the creation of the Glen Canyon Dam, and it took 17 years 1980 to fill. In 1869 Civil war veteran Major John Wesley Powell left Green River WY down the Green and Colorado Rivers to map the area. For more about the Parks rich history visit This Link.
