The low level of Lake Powell made it more challenging for kayakers to reach the water at some boat ramps, and houseboats had to be removed from the lake a while ago. The extended boat ramp at Wahweap Bay will only be useable for another week or two. But then what?
An old ramp on Wahweap Bay will be built out to support lake access for houseboats and smaller boats and hopefully can be constructed by Labor Day weekend.
Lake Powell dropped to a new low of 3,553 feet last week.
