Launch from Antelope Point for inflatable SUP or kayak outings across Lake Powell’s dramatic sandstone canyons. These rentals are a low-friction way to explore calm coves, slot canyons, and shoreline campsites with minimal gear.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off Antelope Point and the canyon seems to hold its breath. Wind tucks into alcoves; sandstone walls rise in orange bands, and the lake opens like a cool, reflective road leading between cliffs. Inflatable SUPs and kayaks from the Antelope Point Recreation Center are the simplest ticket here: pack, pump, paddle, and you’re on clear water framed by Navajo sandstone.

History
Lake Powell flooded parts of Glen Canyon after the construction of Glen Canyon Dam in the 1960s; the result transformed a river landscape into a recreational reservoir with new shoreline access points like Antelope Point.
Conservation
Water levels fluctuate with regional drought and reservoir management—pack out all waste, use established launch points, and follow Navajo Nation and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area rules to minimize impact.

Launch during calm windows
Early morning or late afternoon usually offers the calmest water and smallest boat wakes—plan your pickup accordingly.
Sun protection matters
There’s little shade on the water; wear a brimmed hat, UV shirt, and reef-safe sunscreen.
Secure a dry bag
Keep phone, keys, and extra layers dry—capsized inflatables often flip close to shore but wet electronics are a common problem.
Know wake etiquette
Yield to motorboats in narrow channels and move to sheltered stretches if larger wakes approach.

Provided by outfitter but bring your own for best fit and safety.
SUP leash or kayak towline
