BULLFROG, Utah - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is pleased to announce that due to rising water levels the main launch ramp at Bullfrog Marina opened for vessels of all sizes on June 20, 2023. The Bullfrog North Ramp also remains open and available to all boaters. The Bullfrog Main Ramp Spur, adjacent to the eastern side of the main launch ramp, is available for vessels up to 25 feet in length.
Boaters are reminded navigation hazards change daily, boaters should use caution and be very watchful of unexpected underwater/freshly-out-of-the-water hazards as well as other boaters and kayaks. Hazard buoys do not mark every hazard on the water. Be aware of pieces of branches that could be as large as full trees floating in the lake. Water levels are significantly different than past seasons, so commonly known boating paths and saved GPS routes may not be safe with current lake levels.
Lake Powell’s water levels change throughout the year and are determined by a wide range of factors. It is imperative that boaters check the park’s Changing Lake Levels webpage about the status of preferred visitor use areas before heading to the lake. Information is available 24/7 about water levels, marina operations, and water-based visitor services.
Prior to visiting, visitors are encouraged to be aware of current park alerts. More safety information.
