Fun-Filled Water Adventures in Page

Swim at Wahweap Beach

With its crystal-clear waters, sandy shores, and stunning views of the surrounding red rocks, Wahweap Beach is the perfect spot for swimming and sunbathing. The dedicated swimming area is located at Wahweap Marina, west of the Wahweap Main Ramp on Lake Powell, and requires a National Park Pass to enter. There are no lifeguards in the swim area, so personal flotation devices are recommended. Please also note that personal flotation devices are required for swimmers 12 years old and younger at Lake Powell.

Hike to Swimming Spots at The Chains

The Chains is the closest lake access to Page, Arizona, and does not require a National Park Pass, so is a convenient place to explore. Head north of the parking lot for a self-guided adventure through Slickrock sand formations. Depending on the current lake elevation, lakeshore access is possible, and the lake is very deep at this location, so good swimming skills are required. The surrounding rock formations and cliffs provide a stunning backdrop, making it a great spot to swim, take photos or simply soak up the beauty of the area.

Catch Dinner (Or Release)

Lake Powell is home to a wide variety of fish species, making it a diverse fishing spot. Some of the popular fish species you can find here include smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, striped bass, walleye, channel catfish, crappie, and bluegill.

Fishing in the Colorado River within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area can be a rewarding experience for anglers. The towering cliffs and colorful canyon walls provide a stunning backdrop as you fish on the river.

Before embarking on your journey, review current National Park Service fishing regulations and watercraft regulations.
