- Stateline Ramp is currently closed. However,
the ramp has been extended with 280' of concrete surface and should be useable to all boaters sometime in May. Launching at Stateline-A-Ramp will continue to be available until Stateline is open.
- Stateline-A Ramp - A small boat only launch facility (2 axle trailers, boats ≤24') is open just south of the existing Stateline Ramp. Access is via the Stateline launch ramp. One section of the boiler tubing sheets has been installed on this ramp.
- A dirt parking area is available. All vehicles/trailers must be parked within the confined parking area. Parking alongside the roadway is not
allowed. Once this parking area is full, all trailers and tow vehicles must be parked at Stateline ramp or parking area.

Bullfrog
- Bullfrog Main Ramp – is open - the primitive dirt
launch site near the main ramp is being used for launching vessels at own risk. Sections of the boiler tubing sheets have been installed at the waters edge to facilitate launching.
The slope of this launch site is shallow and vessels may need to be backed into the water for some distance prior to off-loading from the trailer.
- Bullfrog North Ramp is currently closed. However, the ramp has been extended with a 300' concrete surface and should be useable for all vessels sometime in May.

Hite
- With the current lake levels, there are no marina facilities or
public launch ramp at Hite.
A dirt takeout area for river rafters has been developed on the west side of the river.
This is a primitive road and requires 4-wheel drive to access the river. This is not a boat launching area.
- All water-based marina facilities have been relocated to marina areas downstream.
- Pay at pump fuel is available. All other concession facilities are closed until May 1st.
- Hite has a NPS ranger station and primitive camping area – however, this camping area is not accessible to the water.
Channel Markings at Current Water Levels:
- Boaters – Be Aware: Due to narrowness of channel from Anchovy Point to Antelope Point Marina site be prepared for rough water.
- Boaters are now required to follow the main channel to the north and west of Padre Butte - the channel is marked.
The marked channel has been realigned beginning at buoy 16 through 20C. To reduce congestion in the narrowing channel by Day Mark 19, the channel is now marked to the south toward Labyrinth Canyon.
- Wakeless Zones: - Boat with Caution – PLEASE ADHERE TO FLAT WAKE RULES
- For those boaters traveling uplake from Wahweap be patient, with new wakeless zones, it will take longer. Allow for extra time to reach your
destination. Slow down – Be safe!
- At the intersection of Wahweap Bay (Anchovy Point) –
boat with caution – lake levels are again going down.
- Within the breakwater and wakeless buoys around the Antelope Point public launch ramp.
- At the Antelope Point Marina site.
SAFETY TIPS - Recreate sensibly and return home safely!
- Cliff jumping and diving are the #1 cause of fatalities on Lake Powell
– even jumping/diving from low levels can cause
death or serious injuries. The NPS does not recommend either cliff jumping or diving.
- Carbon monoxide (CO) is a "silent killer." Know where your vessel exhausts and keep everyone out of harms way. Have working CO detectors on your vessel and pay heed if
they go off. BE SAFE – turn off generators prior to retiring for the evening.
- Teak surfing is extremely dangerous and can be deadly to those who participate. Stay alive – don't teak surf.
- Children don't float! Please watch your children around water and require them to wear a personal flotation device anytime they are in or near the water. Don't let your child
be a statistic!
