Fiftymile Canyon

Fiftymile Canyon is a narrow side canyon off the Escalante River arm of Lake Powell, below the Straight Cliffs of the Kaiparowits Plateau. Its creek and narrows make a classic hike from the boat.

Boater notes (summer 2026): Gregory Natural Bridge, underwater since the 1960s, has re-emerged up Fiftymile Canyon at low water, and boaters reported driving under it.
