&lt;p&gt;The lake is more open with a lot more beach camp spots outside of Page.&amp;nbsp; We found a nice spot in Warm Creek Bay, about 1 1/2 hours from Wahweap, easily beached the house boat and had several hours left to play on the first day.&amp;nbsp; The bay is very open and didn&amp;#39;t have much traffic so the water remained calm and skiing was great all day long.&amp;nbsp; No negatives here.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name="906a5fcf-d075-465f-b84e-8093437e3325"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="Entry"&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Lake Toys&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;table class="Coupons" border="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;a title="Kwik Tek Blast Inflatable Towable (Sports)" href="http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Tek-Blast-Inflatable-Towable/dp/B000FE7J5U%3FSubscriptionId%3D0THD2YS9R58M4WEAPSR2%26tag%3Dshopathomes0f-20%26linkCode%3Dsp1%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000FE7J5U" target="newwindow"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51awv7Cd%2B6L._SL75_.jpg" alt="Kwik Tek Blast Inflatable Towable (Sports)" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Tek-Blast-Inflatable-Towable/dp/B000FE7J5U%3FSubscriptionId%3D0THD2YS9R58M4WEAPSR2%26tag%3Dshopathomes0f-20%26linkCode%3Dsp1%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000FE7J5U" target="newwindow"&gt;Kwik Tek Blast Inflatable Towable (Sports)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kwik-Tek Airhead Blast...
