Warm Creek Bay is a very popular site with Lake Powell visitors. It is located a few miles from Wahweap Marina, giving easy access to boaters. Many houseboats from Wahweap Marina will choose this bay because of the ease of access back to the marina if shuttling people back and forth.
There are extensive sandy beaches and several excellent coves, depending on the water level, that makes camping excellent in Warm Creek.
Spencer's Coal Mines, used in a failed attempt to use a steamboat to dredge gold from the Colorado River, were located here in the early 1900's and remnants of these can be found up Crosby Canyon.
The channel between Antelope Island and Castle Rock is known as Castle Rock Pass or Cut. When the lake drops to about 3612 feet this pass ceases to exist and boaters must go around Antelope Island through the Colorado River channel to reach Warm Creek or go farther up lake.
