LAKE POWELL STILL RISING — Water Pours In 2X Faster Than the Dam Lets Out

Lake Powell reached 3,539.1 feet on Monday, 22.5 feet above its September record low, with water still pouring in about 2.4 times faster than Glen Canyon Dam releases it, Bureau of Reclamation data show. Only two launch ramps on the lake are open to motorboats, and the Bullfrog primitive ramp, built for low water, closed as the lake rose past it, National Park Service data show. The rise has slowed to about 3 inches a day, and a weekend storm is a 50/50 call. Figures as of Monday, November 9, 2026.
