Lake Powell - 2010Seven Long Beach residents houseboating at Lake Powell last summer. Pictured left to right in front of the houseboat are Brenden Mukanos, Bill and Shirley Dunyon, Michele and Nick Mukanos, Nicole Colon, and Thoren Wilburn. A smaller boat was used for exploring and cruising the lake, as well as water-skiing. Three of the group have enjoyed camping and boating on Lake Powell at least 17 times during the past 40 years.
Lake Powell, which is a reservoir on the Colorado River, is 186 miles long and has almost 2,000 miles of shoreline. It is located mainly in Southern Utah with some of it in Northern Arizona. It is the second largest man-made lake in the United States. The lake was named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river in 1869. Famous sights on the lake include Rainbow Bridge National Monument, Hole-in-the Rock crossing, and Cathedral in the Desert. Lake Powell is amazingly beautiful and there are over 90 side canyons, numerous water caves, and several ancient Anasazi Indian ruins to explore.
