National Park Service struggles to keep boat ramps open as Lake Powell hits historic low

Business owners say limited access to the reservoir is hurting their bottom lines.

(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Due to the low water levels, Kayakers have to haul their kayaks another 30-50 yards to the water past the abandoned Antelope Public Launch Ramp, at Lake Powell, on Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2021. Water levels are dropping a few inches a day, which may bring an early end to kayaking on the lake in the next week or so, shortening a season that usually goes through the end of October.
