Houseboat Heaven on Lake Powell, Utah/Arizona

The previous post was about houseboating Aussie style on a river. Here's another view of houseboating on a lake. Not just any lake, but a huge manmade lake, Lake Powell, in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

The lake overlaps Arizona and Utah and provides both space and secluded spots in the canyons to find your own piece of Heaven.

I only spent a short time in the southwestern corner of the lake where the houseboat moorings are at Wahweap and Antelope Point.

To say that the area is beautiful is an understatement. The huge cliffs, magnificent rock formations and striations of the canyons are not to be missed at lake level or from the air.

Here's more information.

Relaxing Houseboat Holiday on the River Murray, South Australia

For a relaxing holiday on the water, there's nothing better than hiring a houseboat on the River Murray.

Get a group together and leisurely explore a stretch of the river (this section between Mannum and Murray Bridge winds its way past cliffs and shacks).

You can tow your own boat behind for fishing, exploring or water skiing.


At the end of the day you can moor along the riverbank, cook on the barbecue and relax and soak up the scenery.

Highly recommended for stress relief and recharging the batteries. Here's more information on the Murray River.
