Show t 1 Hite Marina to esJ Get New Home Hite Marina, located on the north end of Lake Powell, will be moved this summer for the fourth time since it was begun as a National Park Service concession in 1964. The earlier moves had been necessary due to the filling of Lake Powell. This summer's lake elevation is expected to inundate the access road leading to the development, cutting off the present residential residen-tial area, public launch ramp, marina and storage area, requiring yet another move. An interim development plan was prepared by the National Park Service's Denver Den-ver Service Center following a 1975 study to determine the permanent site for the Hite development.
