This marina is our personal favorite! Antelope Point is located in Page AZ, road access is from Highway 98. The marina features 2 separate launch ramps, a public launch ramp, and a valet service launch ramp. For a small fee they offer Valet service for the launching of boats. Antelope point also offers a wide variety of services including boat rental, boat repair and boat pompous. Located on the Marina is a very nice restaurant, gift shop, and ice cream/snack shop! There is a large assortment of items in the gift shop including a lot of lake essentials such as: Sunblock, life vests, sunglasses, wakeboard, tubes. And a wide selection of other things as well. So if you forgot something. No worries! Chances are they probably have it!
To access the Bend, you must take a 1.5 mile walk from the parking lot which is located just off of US Highway 89 in Southwest Page. Because of recent growth in visitation and popularity, an entrance fee has been installed by the park service. The cost to visit Horseshoe Bend is $10 for vehicle and $5 for motorcycles.
