Lake Powell, Arizona
Lake Powell has a total capacity of 26 acre-feet and a total surface area of 161,000 acres, making it the second-largest reservoir in the United States. Apart from providing massive water storage for the American states of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico, Lake Powell is also well-known for its breathtaking scenery, attracting about two million tourists and visitors every year. Like Lake Mead, Lake Powell was also created by a dam (Glen Canyon Dam) on the Colorado River. It has a maximum depth of 532 feet and is located where the states of Arizona and Utah meet. The water that feeds the reservoir comes from melted snow during the spring months.
