RV rental Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, AZ: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Over 1.25 million acres of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area surrounds the scenic Lake Powell, which follows the canyon curves in elegant serpentines. Five marinas and several boat launches allow for easy access to the glistening water. Most of the marinas also have a variety of boats available for rent, including houseboats, jet skis, kayaks, and powerboats. A couple of these marinas also rent out fishing gear for intrepid anglers who might lack the necessary equipment to cast a fly into the lake. Hop into a motorboat and challenge another boater to a good-natured race. Zip up and down the length of Lake Powell to an invisible finish line. Or take the boat into one of the many inlets for a quiet day of swimming and fishing. Anglers can expect to catch a variety of bass among other fish, including largemouth and smallmouth bass and striped bass. Although many adventurers flock to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to gain access to Lake Powell, its other features should not be ignored. In addition to around 20 miles of hiking trails, which are generally poorly maintained, hikers can strike out into the backcountry in search of the most scenic landscape to photograph or to spot elusive wildlife. At first glance, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area might seem like a barren wasteland. On the contrary, it’s anything but. This arid, scorched region teems with life - at night. Most animals have adapted to a nocturnal lifestyle and emerge once the heat of the day has dissipated. A shortlist of creatures sharp-eyed visitors might spot include the desert bighorn sheep, bobcats, mountain lions, and a small herd of genetically-pure bison.
