Boating Paradise Shapes up in Southeastern Utah Twenty or so years ago, when river recreation was in its infancy, anyone venturing upon the Green, San Juan or Colorado Rivers of Southeastern Utah, was deemed a bit daft. In a couple of years jaunts on the reservoir will be about as common as riding on the Staten Island Ferry. The reason for this explosion of water interest in one of the yet most rugged, inaccessible regions of the most beautiful United States is Glen Canyon Dam. Glen Canyon Dam, down stream on the Colorado River, "12.4 miles from the Utah- - Arizona line, will give the nation one of its biggest, best and most spectacular playgrounds. The 700 foot high dam, now about half completed, will form mammoth Lake Powell, very properly named for the pioneering naturalist of the 1870's, John Wesley Powell. Lake Powell, which will be e the world's third largest reservoir, will back up Into the thousands of narrow canyons and washes creating a total shoreline of abut 1,800 one-arm- man-mad- That's as long as a shoreline extending from Salt Lake City to San Fransisco to Los Angeles and back to Salt Lake City. Lake Powell will extend 186 miles back up the Colorado River and 71 miles back up the San Juan. At Hite Basin, where the road from Hanksville, Utah, now continues across the Colorado River on a ferry, the lake will be and this is 147 40 feet deep miles from the dam. Today it is virtually impossible to visualize the depth or the size of the lake. You stand out on a flat mesa, miles in diameter and you know the Colorado is miles below you. At your feet will be a campground and right in front of you will be a sandy beach and the water will be 20 feet away. Waters of the lake will be clear and clean. They will be cold out in the middle and bown in the deep reaches where the depth will reach several hundred feet. But up in the shallow arms, the water will probably be just right for swimming, water skiing, fishing and the National Parks service is working right now to make sure it will be just right for boating. Every public agency involved the U.S. Fish with fishing and Wildlife Service, the Utah Fish and Game Department (about 90 per cent of Lake Powell will be in Utah) and the Arizona Fish and Game Department already are making plans for the cast and retrieve set. Current hopes call for dual fishery, with rainbow trout happily living it up in the colder waters and with bass abounding in the more shallow warmer portions. At least it is the plan now to plant both trout fend bass in the lake in the first experiment. As for the boaters. Lake Powell could well become Americas greatest inland boating paradise. When the water backs up and makes some of Glen Canyon accessible by boat, the take w ill be administered somewhat like downstream Lake Mead behind Hoover Dam. Lake Powell will be more spectacular than Lak? Meade, but probably won't get as heavy use since it is not as close to recreation hungry Cdlifornians. Dickson and four children of La Harve, California, have been spending some time in Beaver visiting with family and friends. Mrs. Fotheringham is the former Enid Nowers. They returned home on Monday. Accompanying them were their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Nowers who will visit in California for a while. Mr. and Mrs. There's a whole world of wonderful things to see and enjoy right here in our own beautiful state. St This is Gitn Canyon Dam The dam will be 700 feet tall miles. jjj' JJJ Im " Even so, some one or two million visitors are expected every year. The waters will start back ing up behind the dam in 1963 and almost immediately the boaters will be out en masse. Planning to accommodate the mobs, the National Park Service cooperating with the Bureau of Reclamation, carefully has blueprinted sizable water developments at nine sites. Plans call for developments such as road.boat and air access, marina, eating lodging campgrounds, picnic areas, trailer villages, stores, swimming beach es, and boat launching facilities. These nine camp and marine areas will bt located at Wahweap Creek, Cummings Mesa, Warm Creek, Padre Point Oak Island, Shock Bar Oil Sheep Bar, and Bullfrog Creek. Most of these areas are about 300 miles from Salt Lake City and about 575 miles frorr; Los Angeles. Boating time from Wahwea closest to Glen Canyon Dam, ir. the average powerboat, will six hours ride, cruising beneath d cliffs and me: in a region now impassable. Lake Powell and all its waters are not involved in the current National Parks Canyonland discussions. The proposed area is nor'.h and east of the lake site. Lake Powell already has been designated as a National Recreation area. In addition to increasing th ; nations outdoor fun facilities. Glen Canyon Dam will providu access to famed Rainbow Bridge in remote southern Utah. d In its current status, Rainbow Bridge is accessible only be an arduous pack trip by horseback or by a long hike. river trip plus a As a result, comparatively few persons have seen this high attraction, the largest and most renouned of the k. multi-colore- semi-isolate- six-mi- 300-fo- UNIVERSITY i S -- ' Registration ,, .
