I set up my camp at Wahweap Campground [ photoset ] and then drove down to Stateline ramp to launch. I paddled down to Lone Rock beach where there were many people camping along the shoreline. It's very sandy there and there were lots of kids having fun in the warm water. A lovely day. Then I turned around and went back the same way.

I really want to explore this lake a lot more. You may notice on GPS route it looks like I didn't go all the way up the small side canyons. But I went as far as I could go in the kayak. The lake is not as low as it was, but it isn't full by any means. I was told by a local that it's at 53% capacity.

I enjoy multiday kayaking, and this lake is a good place for that. Lots of places to camp, and it's free. A kayaker needs to mostly stay along the shoreline. There is a lot of motor traffic out there in the middle. But there is more to see along the shore anyway.

I got my kayak here at Lake Powell a couple of years ago. I bought it second-hand from an outfitter who said his customers were "afraid" of it. Too narrow and tippy for them, he said. I have beat the heck out of it and am thinking about getting a newer one.
