Lone Rock, Rock formation in Wahweap Bay, Lake Powell, US

Lone Rock is a solitary rock standing in Wahweap Bay on Lake Powell, in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, under 10 miles (16 km) from Glen Canyon Dam in Kane County, Utah. The Lone Rock Campground faces it, reached from Route 89, and the beach beside it is one of the few spots in the recreation area where vehicles can drive to the water's edge.

Lone Rock stands in Wahweap Bay of Lake Powell, less than 10 miles (16 km) from Glen Canyon Dam in Kane County, Utah. The lake formed after the dam's completion, and the solitary rock became a landmark in the flooded canyon. In April 2011 it appeared as a filming location in the Doctor Who episode "The Impossible Astronaut."

The beach beside Lone Rock is one of the few spots in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area where vehicles can be driven right to the water's edge. The rock itself served as a filming location for the Doctor Who episode "The Impossible Astronaut", first broadcast in April 2011.
