What is Lake Powell?
[[Image:Lake Powell - Arizona.JPG|thumb|right|250px]] [[File:Lake Powell Map.jpg|thumb|Lake Powell Map]] '''Lake Powell''' is a reservoir on the [[Colorado River]]. It is mainly in southeastern [[Utah]], with a small part in northeastern [[Arizona]] in the [[United States]]. About {{convert|186|mi|km}} long, it is made by the [[Glen Canyon Dam]], built in [[Glen Canyon]] in the 1960s. The lake is a popular area for [[boat]]ing and [[fishing]], with over 2 million visitors each year; but it has flooded many important natural and [[archaeological site]]s. Other than the Colorado River, the [[Escalante River]] and [[San Juan River]] also flow into the reservoir. In March 2023 it was only 23% full.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2023-03-12|title=Water: pricing is the key to equitable access|work=Financial Times|url=https://www.ft.com/content/3d07f27d-5f25-4fb4-b124-bfac03cc3772|access-date=2023-03-14}}</ref> == Marinas == Lake Powell has five active marinas.
