Manager's Update
Yacht Club Manager, Gary Yantis, has posted his quarterly update of happenings at Lake Powell. To go to the Winter 2011-12 LPYC Update, PLEASE CLICK HERE.
Gary has also posted a Talking Points article released by the National Park Service pertaining to the new rules on Lake Powell regarding the use of PWCs in Glen Canyon NRA. After December 31, 2012, no one may operate a personal watercraft (PWC) that does not meet the 2006 emission standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the manufacturing of two-stroke engines. Note that this is not the final release but is a "draft in final stage". The official final release to the public is expected in early 2012. To see this draft CLICK HERE. ≈≈≈

New Wahweap Marina Store/Office in the works!
ARAMARK is constructing the new Wahweap Marina store complex. It will house the marina offices, gift shop and restaurant. The plan is to have it in operation by next spring. Construction was scheduled to begin by now and continue on through this coming winter. It will be built somewhere around the Stateline rental docks. After completion it will be floated into the site of the existing store. There will be some disruption when the old buildings are moved out and the new ones floated into place. They hope that will happen early next spring. A mechanics building is to be located at the end of G dock. There will be power and water interruption for a short time during this process. They plan to give plenty of notice as the time draws nearer. ARAMARK has released artist's renderings of the new facility. More can be seen by clicking HERE.

Boaters are reminded that a mussel free certificate is required prior to launching any watercraft. "Mussel Free" certificates must be displayed on the dash of their vehicle. With the exception of Hite, the only way to obtain this certificate is to have your vessel inspected by an authorized National Park Service inspector. Hite and remote locations are the only places where self-certification is still allowed. Please check the website at www.nps.gov/glca for the updates of lakewide ramp times and certification requirements.

Archived Articles
now available
Can't find an article you are sure you saw before? From time to time, as articles become dated, we remove them from the Front Page and/or the Menu boxes. Most of these articles are moved to the Archived Article Menu. If you want to review an article no longer in the Front Page Menu or in one of the other menu boxes, you can usually find it in the Archived Articles Menu. In this menu the articles are listed by the month they were published, not by title. Unfortunately, this is a function of our web site program. To find the article of interest you simply click on the month you think the article might have been published and a list of articles archived from that month are listed. If you don't find it, try a few months before and/or after your first choice. When you find the article (the first few lines are published in the menu), click on the article you want and it will load.
