Lake Powell Houseboating Packing List
Packing for your Lake Powell houseboat vacation is easy when you know exactly what to bring. From food to sunscreen to board games, we’ve formulated a general packing list for you to use to plan your trip.
- Food. Plan out each meal for the entire duration of your trip, including snacks. Pro tip: Premake and freeze a few dishes for less work when you’re out on the houseboat. Don’t forget to bring your favorite spices from home, the houseboat only provides salt and pepper.
- Water. Being outdoors = higher water consumption. Consider bringing gallon jugs of water as well as individual water bottles to stay hydrated.
- Sunscreen. Covering your skin with sunscreen lotion and protective clothing is highly recommended. The last thing you want on vacation is a massive sunburn.
- Beach Towels. Bring along a towel for each person to use after swimming in the lake. Damp beach towels also make a cool seat cover.
- Board Games. You and your crewmates are going to be spending a lot of time together, so break out the board games for some added entertainment after a day of fun on the lake.
- Toiletries. As with any trip, pack your essentials including:
- Toothbrush/toothpaste
- Soap
- Face wash
- Deodorant
- Moisturizing lotion
- Chapstick
- Shampoo/conditioner
- Shaver/razor/shaving cream
- Light Clothing. Lightweight, light-colored cotton t-shirts and coverups are ideal for a lake vacation. Your ultimate goal is to stay cool and comfortable.
- Sunglasses. You’ll want to bring a pair or two that you don’t mind losing, just in case you misplace them or they fall off into the water.
- Hat. Dust off your full brimmed beach hat for this trip.
- Hiking shoes. Don’t miss out on some of Lake Powell’s incredible hikes because you forgot your hiking shoes.
- Sandals. Flip flops are perfect for the occasion.
- Phone Chargers. Although you won’t be on your phone much during your trip, it’s always safe to pack a few backup chargers so you don’t lose power completely.
