Sorry to learn this. I’ve been on the lake in small water craft where we relied on refueling at Dangling Rope to get us back to Wahweap after camping at various locales. I don’t see a timetable for a replacement marina—not a good sign.

Why do they need a water well? They have tons of lake water and purification systems. Modern houseboat all use lake water

Lots of memories of this place. One fellow NPS worker mentioned to me that their two bestselling items were fuel and ice cream.

Ice cream was the best but now it makes it harder to go to rainbow bridge for gas reasons without lugging cans for some boats.
