Glen Canyon Recreation Area

The river outlet pipes inside Glen Canyon Dam are getting a $9 million repair job, but conservation groups want to see more permanent changes at Lake Powell.

In Glen Canyon, home to Lake Powell, the shrinking reservoir has revealed areas that were once submerged. These scientists are counting the plants that live there, and have found that they're mostly native.

After a COVID-19 slump, Utah’s parks have seen record visitors, with spending to match, every year since 2021.

The fall of the Toilet Bowl at Lake Powell is a sad reminder that the spectacular geological arches that dot southern Utah’s landscape aren’t guaranteed to be there forever.

The geological feature, also known as the “Double Arch” or the “Hole in the Roof,” collapsed on Aug. 8. National Park Service officials said no injuries were reported.

Tourism’s growth has been both a blessing and a curse for surrounding rural communities as southern Utah’s national parks continue to bring people in.

The nation's second-largest reservoir has been shrinking as drought and steady demand strain the Colorado River. With Lake Powell's low water levels, canyons and ecosystems are emerging from the depths.

Many boat ramps closed as the Colorado River drought pushed Powell to record lows. But abundant snowmelt is bringing some good, if temporary, news for both recreation enthusiasts and the local economy.

Since Glen Canyon Dam was commissioned in 1964 and it first began to fill, Lake Powell has never been like it is right now, at just 27% of its capacity.

The money targets at least 277 high-priority polluting wells on federal public lands in nine states, including Utah.
