Lake Powell
 
Never been there but going last part of June. Where is the best place to be on the lake
Also a reasonable place to stay off the lake? Could be in a city close like Page for example. Thank you
Any other things I should about the lake?

We enjoy staying at the hotel at Wahweap marina. Then we take off from there for the day in the boat. There is a decent hotel in page if you want to save some money. If you are staying on a houseboat, find a place near dangling rope to park it. All of the areas around dangling rope are nice. You definitely need to set aside a day to explore Escalante Canyon. Other things to see, rainbow bridge, San Juan river, cathedral canyon and driftwood canyon.

Wahweap marina is the BEST !!! NOT CHEAP BUT WORTH IT !!!!

The nice thing about Wahweep hotel is you can rent a slip at the marina and keep the boat on the water at night. Makes sunset cruises way easier. I guess you could get a slip even if you stay in Page.

I prefer the south end of the lake over bullfrog.

Thank u. Just reserved a slip at waheap. We r staying at lake shore resort! Got the last room. It will take us two days at least to get there but it will be worth it. Any places better to buy fuel. My 502 gets hungry!

Staying seven days bc of the distance and the beauty. Yes I will post some pics when we get home or while we r down there. There's supposed to be wifi at the motel. From all the pictures I have seen on line the lake looks like one of the wonders of the world. Lol
