A ramp, 1,800 feet long and 200 feet wide, extends at a 9 percent slope into the lake and 

 functions both as a launching ramp and a parking area. The ramp can handle craft up to 65 

 feet long. Launchings are free, and there are no hoists at the marina. 



The ancillary facilities are extensive. Three two-story buildings now comprise the lodge; 

 construction on a fourth is scheduled for 1973. When completed, a total of 320 rooms will 

 be available. The lodge complex also includes dining rooms, a cocktail lounge, and a 

 convention center. Cabins, a trailer park, and campgrounds are also available. 



Rentals available include boats for water skiing, fishing, and houseboats. In addition, 

 guided tours by boat and vehicle are offered. 



One of the most unusual of all the ancillary faciUties encountered during the marina 

 survey was Wahweap's sister-installation, the Rainbow Bridge Marina, a floating marina with 

 no land interface. Modules were constructed at Wahweap and floated in sections for 50 

 miles to the present anchorage (Fig. 175). Apartments for operating personnel are an 

 integral part of this small isolated marina, which functions primarily as a halfway house, 

 providing fuel, food, and general supplies for boaters touring the lake. The fueling facilities 

 consist of 18 pumps, which pump up to 10,000 gallons per day. The station is supplied by a 

 small tanker.
