NORTHERN ARIZONA 4 WATER ADVENTURES Warm water, spectacular scenery and nearly 2,000 miles of shoreline draw sun-seekers to Lake Powell, which stretches from northern Arizona into southern Utah. Head to Wahweap Marina to rent personal watercrafts, paddleboards, kayaks—even house-boats—or to spend the night at Lake Powell Resort. With its towering canyon walls, thrilling whitewater rapids and star-filled nights, rafting the Grand Canyon is truly a bucket list adventure. Choose your level of thrill—from a 13-day oar trip through the entire canyon to a three-day motor trip paired with Western-style fun—with Arizona River Runners , in business for more than 50 years. Comprising 1.25 million acres, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area boasts plentiful water features, from the Instagram-famous Horseshoe Bend to sprawling Lake Powell. Raft, stand-up paddleboard, canoe or kayak along the Colorado River through this scenic area with Kayak Horseshoe Bend , offering convenient up-river backhaul service directly from fishing hot spot Lees Ferry. Bring all your water toys—jet skis, speed-boats and water skis—to Lyman Lake State Park , where you’ll find a 1,500-acre reservoir with no size restrictions on watercraft. The west end of the lake, however, is buoyed off as a no-wake zone, making it ideal for anglers looking to snag walleye, catfish and largemouth bass from the snowmelt waters.
