Kayak through the Labyrinth Canyon Narrows
AdventureModerateSpringSummerYear-round
Launch from Bullfrog Marina to paddle through corkscrew-like sandstone walls that rise hundreds of feet from the turquoise waters of Lake Powell.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for a full 6 to 8-hour day to cover the distance from Bullfrog Marina into the narrowest sections of the canyon.
- 2Rent a high-quality touring kayak or bring your own, as the open water crossing to reach the canyon mouth can be choppy.
- 3Download offline satellite maps or use a GPS device because the canyon's winding walls will quickly disable cell service.
- 4Secure a Glen Canyon National Recreation Area pass and pay the vessel fee at the Bullfrog entrance station before launching.
- 5Pack twice the water you think you need along with high-energy snacks to combat the intense sun exposure and physical exertion.
- 6Arrive at the boat ramp by 7:00 AM to beat the heavy motorized wake traffic and secure a parking spot near the launch.
