Lake Powell stretches hundreds of miles from Lees Ferry in Arizona to the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah. At more than 400 feet (122 meters) deep, 150 miles (241 kilometers) long, and with nearly 2,000 miles (3,219 kilometers) of shoreline, Lake Powell is the nation’s second largest man-made lake, second only to Lake Mead in Nevada. In 2004, it was at its lowest water level in over 30 years due to the ongoing drought in the western United States. June 1, 2004
