Lake Powell, Arizona

Lake Powell, Arizona, is the 2nd largest manmade lake in the country, measuring 186 miles and over 1,900 miles of shoreline. Visitors to the lake can explore 96 red-rock canyons and enjoy every type of water activity imaginable, including swimming, boating, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and skiing. Lake Powell features four marinas where you can rent a boat or take a guided boat cruise. If you love fishing, you can catch a wide variety of fish at the lake, including carp, catfish, bass, and crappie. The 3-hour Navajo Canyon Tour is a great boat tour. They only serve water and lemonade, so stop by Subway and put together a picnic lunch.
