Glen Canyon Announces Uplake Marina Adjustments for 2026 Boating Season

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is taking proactive steps to maintain uplake boating access at Lake Powell during the 2026 summer season. With lower water levels expected throughout the summer, the park and its partners are adjusting facilities to ensure visitors can continue accessing services in the Bullfrog and Halls Crossing areas.

Temporary Relocation of Bullfrog Marina & Bullfrog Boat Rentals/Fuel Dock

In the coming months, Aramark will begin moving the Bullfrog Marina and Bullfrog Boat Rentals and Fuel Dock into deeper water near Halls Crossing Marina. This temporary move will position marina services in a more reliable location for the 2026 summer season and beyond. The land-based services at Bullfrog remain open. Fuel will remain attached to the Bullfrog Boat Rentals dock. Information on the Bullfrog Marina relocation can be found on Aramark's website at: www.lakepowell.com/houseboating/bullfrog-marina-houseboat-rentals

Stanton Creek Ramp Project

The National Park Service is finalizing plans for a new, permanent long-term ramp at Stanton Creek at Bullfrog. Designed to function at lower lake elevations, the Stanton Creek ramp will improve uplake motorized boat access once completed. Due to the project's size and complexity, the ramp will not be completed for the summer 2026 season but remains a key component of Glen Canyon's long-range infrastructure strategy. After the Stanton Creek ramp project is completed, the Bullfrog Marina will be permanently moved to that location, near the established community and facilities of Bullfrog. The park is exploring options for a primitive ramp in the Bullfrog/Stanton Creek area for this summer; however, it is unknown at this time how deep the ramp could extend.

Visitor Information

Lake Powell remains open for water-based recreation, and boaters are encouraged to check current lake levels, ramp status, and operating conditions before traveling. The most up-to-date information on lake levels and park projects is available at www.nps.gov/glca/learn/changing-lake-levels.htm.
