National Park Service Plans $73M Ramp Project for Lake Powell Marina Relocation

Aramark is relocating the Bullfrog Marina to Halls Crossing due to record-low water levels, while the National Park Service plans a $73.4 million ramp project to restore access.

Due to historically low water levels at Lake Powell, the floating Bullfrog Marina is undergoing an unprecedented relocation to deeper waters at Halls Crossing. The move, managed by concessionaire Aramark, involves transporting the marina and its numerous houseboat slips across the lake, with completion expected by mid-June. The current low water levels have rendered existing boat ramps unusable, necessitating this shift to maintain operational access to the reservoir.

To restore long-term functionality, the National Park Service is developing a new ramp at Stanton Creek, a $73.4 million project designed to remain viable even if lake elevations drop another 25 feet. In the interim, crews are constructing a primitive ramp at the existing Bullfrog site to facilitate continued access through the summer. These efforts reflect broader challenges facing the region as officials work to navigate the reservoir's ongoing drought-related receding shorelines.
