| has gloss | eng: Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona (most of it, along with Rainbow Bridge, is in Utah). It is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet (30 km³) of water when full. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the controversial Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869. In 1972, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established. It is public land managed by the National Park Service, and available to the public for recreational purposes. It lies in parts of Garfield, Kane, and San Juan counties in southern Utah, and Coconino County in northern Arizona. |

| has gloss | deu: Der Lake Powell ist ein Stausee in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und liegt rund 350 km nordöstlich von Las Vegas im Grenzgebiet von Utah und Arizona. Er entstand Mitte der 1960er Jahre durch Aufstauung des Colorado an der Ostseite des Grand Canyon und entwickelte sich auf Grund vielfältiger Freizeitangebote um den See und zahlreicher Sehenswürdigkeiten im Umland zu einem beliebten Urlaubsziel. Niederschlagsarme Jahre und eine verstärkte Wasserentnahme lassen den Wasserpegel des Sees seit Jahren stetig sinken. |
