Beginning July 29, at 8 a.m. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area will reopen access to:

  • Antelope Point Public Launch Ramp
  • Antelope Point is located on the south side of Lake Powell near Page, Arizona.

In addition, the following services continue to be available as previously announced and described at https://www.nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/conditions.htm

With public health in mind, the following facilities and operations remain closed at this time:

“We are working hard to reopen the Antelope Point Public Launch Ramp on Lake Powell as soon as possible. It remains closed until Wednesday, July 29 so we can install courtesy dock facilities and deploy staffing necessary for quagga mussel containment efforts. We thank our visitors and partners for their continued patience and support as we resume park operations,”  said Park Superintendent William Shott.
