Wahweap Main Launch Ramp

Located next to the Lake Powell Resort at Wahweap. This launch ramp is available to motorized vessels when the lake level elevation is above 3548 ft.

Paddlecraft may launch at their own risk. Whn the ramp is open to motorized vessels, share the ramp.

The main launch ramp in the Wahweap Marina area. Large enough for multiple boats, including houseboats, to launch at the same time. The ramp is long and changes when the lake level changes. Prepare for a long walk back down the ramp after you park your boat trailer. Courtesy docks have a thirty minute time limit. Fuel docks and pumpout station just downstream of ramp.

Mid-ramp, there is a turnoff that leads to parking for the private marina. It would be difficult to maneuver a boat trailer there, we do not recommend using that parking lot. 14-day parking is at the top of the ramp.

Launching will be available when the lake level elevation is above 3548 ft.


All boats exiting Lake Powell must follow decontamination protocols to keep quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species out of other bodies of water. Check your home state's regulations. Always Clean, Drain, and Dry your vessel and gear.

Check ramp conditions before you arrive on our Changing Lake Levels. page.
