Show FOREWORD Once in a blue moon we come upon almost unbelievable beauty. Such was my reaction at my first sight of Lake Powell and its setting of incomparable grandeur. Lake Powell holds working water, but it also is a new and major national recreation area. The blue waters and the sculptured shore hold something for all- the fun and excitement of fishing, boating, and water sports, or healing solitude in the midst of natural beauty. President and Mrs. Johnson have challenged us with an exciting new concept of conservation: Creation of new beauty to amplify the beauty which is our heritage as well as creation of more places for outdoor recreation. In this magnificent lake we have made such accomplishments. Welcome to Lake Powell. - STEWART L. UDALL, Secretary U. S.
