Hi Bill:

I’d be glad to help out and please email again with any additional questions. In Padre Canyon I’ve got a couple for you. The one we really liked was a small cove at 37* 4.489 N  111*20.444 W  and on this same piece of real-estate there is a sandy beach that covers 2/3 of the little island. We always had Lisa on the bow as we approached shore looking for the best sandy landing spots. In Dungeon  try 37* 4.768 N  111* 9.444 W  In Oak Bay there are a lot of choices. We used a spot at 37* 6.917 N  110* 57.415 W on two separate stops. In Cottonwood we stayed two nights at 37* 14.314 N  110* 52.017 W  

Do you have the Lake Powell Map put out by Fish n Map Co.?  they sell them at the marinas as well as a nice color photo/caption highlight fold up guide. What are you using for a GPS?  We used our iPad with a Navionics US app as our GPS and it worked just fine.

Also keep in mind these beach anchorages change every year with the changing water level in the lake. We were there in September 2011 and the water was about 50 feet…..yes 50 feet higher then the prior fall….and this makes a difference in the beaching with sandy landings.

Have a grand time.
Jim
