HI ltl driver
Glad your going to make it to the Lake Powell Challenge. This is a very laid back poker run on a very beautiful lake. I went to the event last year and had a blast. I also grew up in Arizona going to Lake Powell every year in the summer. Such a cool lake to see. The LPC has put together a lunch run for Friday the 18th before the poker run up to Dangling Rope Marina. This Marina is 10 miles away from my first suggestion, which is Rainbow Bridge. Rainbow Bridge cannot be accessed by boat entirly, but they have nice docks for parking. The walk up to the site is approximatnly 2 miles. Rainbow Bridge is 50 miles up lake from Antelope Point Marina. I am going to assume Antelope Point Marina is where you are staying/launching from, because that is the head quarters for the LPC Poker Run. My next suggestion is Navajo Canyon, which is only a couple miles from Antelope Point Marina, same direction as Dangling Rope and Rainbow Bridge. Navajo Canyon is a water way that breaks off the main channel. This canyon has some breath taking views of the red rocks as you cruse back. Antelope Canyon is another suggestion which can be seen by boat in some parts, or you can get there on land by way of a guided jeep tour. There are a ton of cool canyons and rock formations to see from the water all over this lake.
The poker run's last card stop is over at Lone Rock beach. "Lone Rock," is a huge rock in the middle of the bay in this part of the lake, quite a site to see. You can boat right up next to it. Theses are just a few suggestions to get you going. We have a house boat rented for the LPC. I plan on taking my family to Rainbow Bridge some time on Friday, either before or after the lunch run to Dangling Rope. Oh yea, Dangling Rope Marina claims to have the best soft serve ice cream around.
We have a house boat rented for the weekend and will be around. We have a 27' Orange & Red Eliminator Speedster. Stop by and say HI.
