This page provides public information about the Bullfrog and Hite Low Water Launch Ramps project. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is planning improvements to maintain safe and reliable access to Lake Powell and the Colorado River in the Bullfrog and Hite Districts during ongoing low water conditions. As water levels have declined, existing boat ramps in these areas have become difficult or unsafe to use.
On Wednesday, September 9, 2026, the National Park Service signed a Finding of No Significant Impact for the Environmental Assessment: Development of Bullfrog and Hite Low Water Launch Ramps. This decision is a critical step towards the construction of new, lower‑elevation boat ramps and supporting facilities in both districts.
At Bullfrog, the project includes a new concrete boat ramp, access road, parking area, and utility improvements. At Hite, the project will establish a primitive fixed launch/retrieval ramp, improve the access road, and expand parking areas for ramp users. These upgrades will reduce resource impacts caused by unauthorized shoreline use and improve visitor access during extended low‑water periods.
Project documents are available through the Document List in the left column.
