Glen Canyon maps from the park brochure

Here’s a Glen Canyon National Recreation map from the NPS brochure. The most recent update removed symbols for services at Hite and Dangling Rope; with low water levels, these former marinas are now high and dry.

This beautiful Colorado River watershed map highlights the full drainage basin of the Colorado River and points out Glen Canyon National Recreation Area’s location on the Colorado Plateau.

Lake Powell detail maps

The maps on this page work well for very general trip planning, but they’re not going to help you for navigating on Lake Powell. For that, you’d want something like this waterproof National Geographic Trails Illustrated map, which shows Lake Powell in extra detail as well as the surrounding topography and hiking trails in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument.

Here are some maps of the various developed areas around Lake Powell (within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area), arranged roughly south to north. Please note that the availability of services is greatly dependent on Lake Powell water levels, so exact layouts may be different during your visit.

This overview map of Page and Wahweap shows the busiest area of the park near the Glen Canyon Dam and Carl Hayden Visitor Center around the town of Page, AZ. This is the heartbeat of the park.

Here’s a detailed Wahweap map, which is one of the major marinas on Lake Powell.  It features a resort, campground, picnic area, rentals, and docks, and multiple launch ramps.

Alternatively, this color Wahweap map looks a bit nicer to view on screen, although it’s going to use more ink if you print it. It also shows the layout of the marina vicinity in more detail than the map above.

Here’s a Lone Rock Beach map, which is a primitive campground northwest of Wahweap that is for tents only. This map shows the toilets, camping area, and showers.

The Antelope Point map includes the parking lots and launch ramps at this marina located just northeast of the town of Page. It also labels some lake features, such as the no-wake zone.

This is an Escalante map, which shows the road coming into the park from the west toward Hole-in-the-Rock and Escalante River access points. This is very wild and remote Utah here.

Here’s a Bullfrog and Halls Crossing map, showing an overview of these two hubs across Lake Powell from each other. There’s a ferry route that may be operating, though it often doesn’t run due to low water levels.

This is a Halls Crossing map, labeling features such as the campground, boat ramps, ferry dock, stores, gas station, restrooms, showers, boat rentals, and more.

This Bullfrog Marina map shows the considerable development surrounding the marina, including stores, rentals, ferry dock, campground, picnic area, visitor center, etc.

Glen Canyon lodging map

Almost without exception, anyone who stays overnight when visiting Glen Canyon is staying in Page, AZ, which is the only real town near Lake Powell. (Or you’re staying on a houseboat!) To the right you can open an Expedia interactive lodging map of Page to compare the locations of your choices. You may also want to browse the top-rated Page lodging on Expedia to compare prices, reviews, and photos.

Assorted Glen Canyon maps

This Burr Trail map shows this incredibly scenic and rugged road that traverses across the desert through Capitol Reef National Park to the town of Boulder, UT. Here you can download the NPS Burr Trail Guide in PDF format.

Here’s a Wahweap Campground map, showing the layout of the tent sites and RV loops in relation to the restrooms, amphitheater, laundry, showers, and campground store.

It sounds strange, but the Lake Powell restrooms map is really quite helpful to locate the floating restrooms and waste dumps on the reservoir while you’re out and about on a small boat.

Rainbow Bridge maps

This is the official National Park Service Rainbow Bridge map, showing the monument’s location along Lake Powell and Glen Canyon. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.

Here’s a Rainbow Bridge topo map, which zooms in to show the elevation contours. Note that current Lake Powell water levels may look quite different from what’s shown on this map.

Lees Ferry maps

Here’s a Lees Ferry map, which is a bit downstream of the Glen Canyon Dam and is the starting point for many Grand Canyon rafting trips. This shows the campground, launch point, and trails.

This is a Lees Ferry area camping map, showing the Colorado River campsites accessible by river travelers, located between the Glen Canyon Dam and Lees Ferry.

Glen Canyon geologic maps

This is the south Glen Canyon geologic map, focusing on the area around Glen Canyon Dam and the southernmost marinas on Lake Powell near the Utah/Arizona border.

Here’s a central geologic map of Glen Canyon, showing the central part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, including Halls Crossing and Dangling Rope.

This north Glen Canyon geologic map shows Hite and the region north, including Cataract Canyon and the area bordering Canyonlands National Park around the Colorado River.

Archived Glen Canyon maps

Here’s an old Glen Canyon National Recreation Area map from 2018. Note the illustrated water levels on this map are lower than on the map below. Unfortunately, Lake Powell these days is rarely as full as on this map.

This is the official Glen Canyon map from before 2018, ranging from Page in the south to beyond Hite in the north. Click the image to view a full size map or download the PDF.

Here’s an old Hite map, showing the only place a bridge crosses Lake Powell in the entirety of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Lake Powell no longer reaches Hite due to a lack of water.

This former map of Hite focused on the developed facilities, including the visitor center, shoreline camping, campground, and launch ramps. This is all closed due to low water levels and it’s uncertain if it’ll ever return.
