Lake Powell at Lone Rock

Sandstone coves and beach camping on Utah’s side.

Lone Rock Beach sits just over the Utah line from Page, where Wahweap Bay opens into coves, slickrock islands and short side canyons like Ice Cream Canyon. Camp on the beach and launch from the sand, or rent boats delivered to the Wahweap ramp, then save another day for the Antelope Canyon paddle on the Arizona side. The lake is near record lows in 2026, so check ramp status and expect sandy carries and a changing shoreline.
