Green River Travel Information
The Green River runs through Flaming Gorge in the northeast corner
of Utah, proceeds through Dinosaur National Monument, winds through
desert wilderness in east-central Utah and passes the town of Green
River before merging with the Colorado River in Canyonlands National
Park. It has a lot to offer.
The segment just beneath Flaming Gorge Dam is a renowned trout
river. It also offers easy do-it-yourself whitewater rafting. Lodore
Canyon in Dinosaur National Monument features terrific whitewater
rafting for which you'll need experienced guides. Pristine solitude
and terrific desert canyons characterize the Green River as it runs
through the Desolation and Gray Canyons in central Utah. Four to five
day trips are available through this unspoiled land. Daily trips on a
portion of the river are offered from the town of Green River.
South of town, the river proceeds through Labyrinth and Stillwater
Canyons and into Canyonlands National Park and a confluence with the
Colorado River. Pleasant float trips or canoe trips are the rule here. View
