The San Juan River Arm enters the main channel of Lake Powell at Mile 57 with a series of gooseneck bends. It is advisable to make sure you have enough fuel before going up the San Juan Arm since there are no marinas in this part of Lake Powell. There are a couple of arches near the entrance of the San Juan Arm.
