Rising water levels have allowed the main boat ramp at the Bullfrog Marina on Lake Powell in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to open to all vessels. The Bullfrog North Ramp also remains open and available to all boaters. The Bullfrog Main Ramp Spur, adjacent to the eastern side of the main launch ramp, is available for vessels up to 25 feet in length.
Boaters are reminded that navigation hazards change daily and so they should use caution and be very watchful of unexpected underwater/freshly-out-of-the-water hazards as well as other boaters and kayaks. Hazard buoys do not mark every hazard on the water. Be aware of pieces of branches that could be as large as full trees floating in the lake. Water levels are significantly different than past seasons, so commonly known boating paths and saved GPS routes may not be safe with current lake levels.
Lake Powell’s water levels change throughout the year and are determined by a wide range of factors. It is imperative that boaters check the park’s Changing Lake Levels webpage about the status of preferred visitor use areas before heading to the lake. Information is available 24/7 about water levels, marina operations, and water-based visitor services.
