Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in response to guidance from the Coconino County and State of Arizona Health Departments is announcing additional modifications to operations to support federal, state, and local efforts to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).  

As of close of business on March 25, the Lake Powell Resort will be closed until further notice. The Lake Powell Resort is located in the Wahweap District of the park near Page, Arizona. This includes lodging, the Rainbow Room Restaurant, the Driftwood Lounge, the Wind Coffee Bar and the Lake Powell Resort Gift Shop.

The health and safety of visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners at Lake Powell Resort is our number one priority. The National Park Service (NPS) is working servicewide with federal, state, and local authorities to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic. We will notify the public when we resume full operations and provide updates on our website Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and social media channels.  

The NPS urges visitors to do their part when visiting a park and to follow CDC guidance to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by maintaining a safe distance between yourself and other groups; washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze; and most importantly, staying home if you feel sick.   

Updates about NPS operations will be posted on www.nps.gov/coronavirus. Please check with individual parks for specific details about park operations.
