Frequently asked

What are the best family stays at Lake Powell?

The houseboat (FamilyFactor 92) is the lake trip. Lake Powell Resort (83) is the Wahweap lodge on the water. Hyatt Place (78) is the Page, AZ gateway hotel with breakfast.

Is Page, Arizona the gateway to Lake Powell?

Yes. Wahweap Marina, the Walmart grocery run, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Glen Canyon Dam all run through Page. This page is that Arizona-side gateway, not a Utah Bullfrog ranking.

Houseboat or hotel?

Houseboat if you have 8–12 people and a week. Hotel if you want Antelope Canyon plus a night or two on the water by day-rental boat.

How old should kids be for a houseboat?

Catalogued best 6+. Under-13 life jackets on deck are required. Cliff jumping is feet-first, depth-checked, not alone.
