Why Lake Powell visitors will have less lake to play in this year Brian Maffly © Francisco Kjolseth (Francisco Kjolseth | Salt Lake Tribune file photo) The Colorado River flows into Lake Powell near Hite Marina in February 2021. Water levels in Powell are expected to reach historic lows this year. Editor’s note • This story is available to Salt Lake Tribune subscribers only. Thank you for supporting local journalism. When boaters return to Lake Powell this spring and summer, they will find even less lake to cruise, more traffic to navigate and fewer places to reach the water. That’s because the ever-sagging water levels at Powell and its larger cousin, Lake Mead, are expected to reach historic lows this year in the face of a 20-year drought that is making it ever more difficult to recreate on the Colorado River’s two largest reservoirs and someday could render one inoperable.
