Gunsight Canyon & Bay

Gunsight Bay is about 19 miles uplake from Wahweap, off the north side of the lower lake near Gunsight Butte; boaters reach it through the Sand Hills channel. The Sand Hills beaches and the Frisbee Islands are popular for camping. At high water a narrow passage at the north end connects Gunsight Bay with Padre Bay.
