"A dramatic red-rock reservoir created by Glen Canyon Dam, stretching nearly 200 miles into southern Utah with more than 90 side canyons — it's ideal for houseboating in a desert-wilderness setting where you often will be the only boat in a side canyon; the lake has also been a popular film location." - Joe Yogerst Joe Yogerst Joe Yogerst is a writer, editor, and photographer with over three decades of experience covering travel.

"Exploring this extraordinary man‑made body of water—formed by flooding Glen Canyon and laced with skinny outlets fed by Colorado Rockies runoff—felt like slipping into another dimension: silent, dreamlike, and Mars‑like; in summer it’s all houseboats, cliff diving, jet skiing, and wakeboarding, but in March we were bundled against chilly headwinds in an open‑top boat, still mesmerized by the scenery." - Will Kopelman
