We are renting one and taking a week starting 8-23.  Just the wife and I and 2 dogs

I have been several times in the last 25 years, lake is at 3615' now.
We are going in from Bullfrog and heading downlake, probably no farther than the Rincon.

I went all in and rented the 19' runabout too.

No hanky panky until holes dug and boat anchored securely to shore...

The wind can and will blow.

I have a boat on the South end.(cruiser)

You fishing or just relaxing?

Mainly R&R, as if I need any.    We parked a 46' HB at the Rincon in 2013 and got lucky with the weather.
No wind, and really exposed if it did blow.   Well, it did blow one time @ 0200 when 2 jet jockeys flew down the main channel at 500'.  They were gone by the time I looked

I should try and find a more protected bay/canyon this time.  I have a few ideas between Rincon and Bullfrog,
you have any?

I know of Cottonwood canyon and just across from hole in the rock.
Both have good, protected beach sites.
Take a run down to the Escalante arm some nice scenery there, such as Cathedral in the desert, LaGorce arch. 3 roof ruin, etc.

Good call, the escalante is not too far from BF, I will find a place in there. I hope

Don't know if you're into hiking or not but one of the best hikes on Powell is from the lake, up Willow (on the Escalante arm) to Broken Bow arch.

A running streambed all the way(at least as of 2 weeks ago.)

I'm hiking a lot, soon as we get back I am going up archery hunting most of Sept.
Found broken bow on the map and will recon.  Thanks for the tip.

I have never been up the escalante branch, this is gonna be fun.
