Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (shortened to Glen Canyon NRA or GCNRA) is a recreation and conservation unit of the National Park Service (USA) that encompasses the area around Lake Powell and lower Cataract Canyon in Utah and Arizona, covering 1,254,429 acres (5,076 km2) of mostly desert. 

The recreation area borders Capitol Reef National Park and Canyonlands National Park on the north, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument on the west, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and the northeasternmost reaches of Grand Canyon National Park on the southwest, and the Navajo Nation on the southeast. 

Lone Rock is a massive, monolithic rock, the Lone Rock, dominates your view of Lake Powell. This free-standing sandstone rock is the namesake of one of the most popular beaches in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The popularity is due largely to the fact that it is one of the few spots that you can drive directly to the water’s edge and camp on the shoreline.

Lone Rock Beach Campground is located on Utah Highway 89, two miles south of Big Water, Utah, and 12 miles north of Page, Arizona.
