Lake Powell Utah.
The photo shows a back section of lake Powell. The sand stone curves are quite interesting. Other parts of the lake are wider and more conventional. The lake is about 200 miles long and is so winding in the sand stone canyons that it has approximately 1200 miles of shorline. Flows are used to generate hydro power half of which is sold to southern California.
The lake is used for recreation and we could see a mariner at Frog Hole with houseboats dotting parts of the lake. The white line above the water represents the drop of level over the last ten odd years due to drought. That line as seen from 9000 feet above see level is 100 feet high!
That lake is huge! At first glance I thought it was like a man-made dam. Do you know how deep it is?
