Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is seeking information regarding large debris existing on Lake Powell to inform future salvage and cleanup efforts. The park is seeking specific locations on the lake where vessels have sunk or were exposed during low water and where other large deposits of debris may be located.
An email inbox has been created for the public to send information. Park staff will monitor this email inbox and compile public input. Information needed includes descriptions (what is the debris), locations (physical description) with GPS points and photos if possible. Please send this information to: e-mail us
Information received from the public at the above email address will be combined with park records to define the level of effort and funding requirements. Next steps include defining the means and methods and timing of implementation. The park will begin data analysis on this initial round of public input in April 2024. There is no planned end date for this data collection effort as the park needs to collect and store this data in perpetuity.
The park appreciates the public’s help in providing information requested for this effort.
