Halls Crossing Marina: a boater’s guide
The quiet north-lake marina across the water from Bullfrog — and for 2026 the temporary home of Bullfrog’s relocated marina, rentals and fuel dock, plus the closest base for the San Juan arm.
Updated
Halls Crossing Marina is the quiet north-lake marina on Lake Powell in Utah (37.4727, -110.7205), directly across the water from Bullfrog. For 2026 it is also the temporary home of Bullfrog Marina’s floating operations: low lake levels forced Aramark and the National Park Service to tow Bullfrog’s docks, slips, houseboats, boat rentals and fuel dock into deeper water just south of Halls Crossing. The relocated Bullfrog fuel dock is the only fuel on the north lake — Halls Crossing’s own fuel dock and launch ramp are closed at current lake levels, and the Charles Hall ferry is suspended for 2026. Reach the marina at (435) 684-2261 or on VHF channel 16.

What services does Halls Crossing Marina have?
For 2026, Halls Crossing is busier than usual: Bullfrog Marina’s floating services were towed here in spring 2026 to reach deeper water, so the north lake’s slips, rentals and fuel all work from this side. The launch ramp is closed at current lake levels — check ramp status before you tow:
- Relocated Bullfrog fuel dock — gas and diesel, the only fuel on the north lake (Halls Crossing’s own fuel dock is closed)
- Boat rentals — Bullfrog’s relocated fleet, including houseboats
- Boat slips — including Bullfrog’s relocated floating docks
- Store and supplies
- Pump-out station
How do I approach Halls Crossing Marina by boat?
- Come straight in from the main channel — the approach is simple and less congested than Bullfrog’s.
- The harbor has good protection from weather; follow the markers into the basin.
- Expect more dock traffic than usual — Bullfrog’s relocated marina and rental fleet operate just south of Halls Crossing for 2026.
- Follow the marked channel through any shallow spots and note the marina VHF (channel 16) before you arrive.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Halls Crossing Marina?
Halls Crossing Marina is on the north end of Lake Powell in Utah, at about 37.4727, -110.7205, directly across the water from Bullfrog Marina. For 2026 it is also the temporary home of Bullfrog’s relocated floating marina, rentals and fuel dock, moved here because of low lake levels.
Why is Bullfrog Marina at Halls Crossing now?
Low lake levels. In spring 2026 the National Park Service and Aramark relocated Bullfrog’s floating marina — docks, slips, houseboats, boat rentals and the fuel dock — about 3 miles across the lake to deeper water near Halls Crossing so the marina could keep operating. The move is temporary: a new low-water ramp planned at Stanton Creek, near Bullfrog, is intended as the marina’s permanent home.
Does Halls Crossing rent houseboats?
For 2026, yes in effect — Bullfrog Marina’s rental fleet, including houseboats, was temporarily relocated to deeper water near Halls Crossing because of low lake levels, so north-lake rentals now depart from this side. Book through Lake Powell Resorts & Marinas.
How do I get from Halls Crossing to Bullfrog?
The Charles Hall ferry is suspended for 2026 — UDOT does not expect it to run this year due to low lake levels.
