But you (and the other 2,999,999 annual visitors) can do so many lakey things in it you wonât care about Lake Powellâs unorthodoxies. Head toward the Arizona border for Glen Canyon National Recreation Areaâs otherworldly boating, beaches and endless network of canyons.
June, July and August tend to be very hot, very crowded and availability can be tough. September is the ideal month for travel to Lake Powell as the air temperature has cooled off a bit, yet the water is still extremely warm and the crowds have dispersed somewhat. It usually rains a great deal in September. Early October is surprisingly a great time to visit Lake Powell as long as the weather holds. The lake is relatively empty and the water is usually still warm enough for skiing or swimming -- even into the third week of the month.
