Where is Lee Ferry & Why is It Important?

Lee Ferry, located about 15 miles downstream of the Glen Canyon Dam at Lake Powell, is currently best-known as the put-in point for a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon. After all, it is the only point along the Colorado River between Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon where there is easy access to the river.

However, Lee Ferry has a very significant importance to water in the West: Because of the access to the river and the fact that it sits conveniently (generally) in the middle of the Colorado River Basin, it was/is a great place to measure flow in the Colorado River.
