In Grand Canyon, Only Outlaws Will Use Jet Skis
Jet Skis and other personal motorized watercraft have been outlawed in Grand Canyon National Park, the park’s superintendent said.
Personal watercraft have always been forbidden along nearly 240 miles of the Colorado River inside the park, but Friday’s decision outlawed them in the last stretch closest to Lake Mead.
The lower 37 miles are not included in the Grand Canyon’s internal management plan, and officials had not considered whether to allow personal watercraft in the area until the Park Service issued its new policy.
