April 20 Historically low water levels at Lake Powell in Utah led to a fascinating discovery by one family.
Liz Bowles was on a recent fishing trip with her family and said the water was so low on their trip that new areas they had never seen were exposed.

She said that the receded water line had exposed some litter, a few things, like soda cans and things like that, which she said she and family members cleaned up.
ST. GEORGE Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is advising visitors to be aware of changes to water access points and boat launch areas on Lake Powell this year due to declining water levels through the summer.
The Bureau of Reclamation forecasts for 2021 and 2022, Lake Powell water levels will continue to drop, according to a press release issued by the National Park Service. Due to this, boaters should check the status of their preferred launch destinations before heading to the lake. The latest information on current boat launch and marina facilities can be found online.
The park regularly makes adjustments to infrastructure such as launch ramps, floating docks and walkways to accommodate fluctuating lake levels and to maintain visitor access to the maximum extent possible.
