Lake Powell a Treasured Paradise!

No doubt about it, Lake Powell is a Treasured Paradise for boating, water skiing, fishing, exploring and nature seeing. I just had to paint a water color of this beautiful Lake.

bay names called Gunsight and Last Chance. Also, my favorite name, Cookie Jar Butte which looks like a huge cookie jar formed out of rock. The scenery of this lake reminds me of the old Roadrunner & Coyote Cartoon. The lake's back drop is a beautiful red rust color with buttes and canyons. This lake is a prime fishing lake. Here's a few lake records: Striped Bass 48 lbs, 2 oz, Large mouth Bass 10 lbs, 2 oz, Smallmouth Bass 5 lbs, 1oz, 15 oz, Northern Pike 16 lbs, 7 oz, Brown Trout 17 lbs, and Rainbow Trout 16 lbs, 7 oz.

Life is short, get away from the big screen and get on a big stream, like Lake Powell. Find more decor maps at LeoLakes.com. They make Great Gifts.
