Wahweap Marina: the complete boater’s guide
Lake Powell’s largest marina and the main gateway to the southern lake — fuel, rentals, lodging and the fastest route to Rainbow Bridge, with motorized launching at the nearby Stateline Auxiliary ramp while the main ramp is closed.
Updated
Wahweap Marina is the largest full-service marina on Lake Powell, on the southwest shore near Page, Arizona (36.9893, -111.4806). It has a gas-and-diesel fuel dock, houseboat and powerboat rentals, boat slips, a store, a restaurant and lodging, and it is the closest marina to Glen Canyon Dam.
