The launch points are in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. You'll need to pay a fee to enter. There are bathroom facilities at both launch areas

Note that you can only reach this if you kayak to the trailhead up the flooded section of Antelope Canyon. You can either launch at Antelope Point Launch Ramp or Antelope Point Marina. If you have your own kayak, then launch from Antelope Point Launch Ramp or set up to have a kayak rental company drop off a kayak at the Antelope Point Launch Ramp (closed during the winter months. You can always rent a kayak at Antelope Point Marina which adds a little more kayak distance.

The kayaking route takes you along the Colorado River and then into Antelope Canyon. Right now, it's about a 35-minute kayak up Antelope Creek to the beach. Then it's a transition to hiking.

It's a nice, wide slot canyon when you start, but it narrows as you go further up. I hiked 2.1 miles up through Antelope Slot Canyon to a "Y" in the slot canyon. The left fork is a short hike. The right fork continues up the main canyon for another 2 miles.
