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, 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 an 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 through Desolation and Gray canyons in central Utah. Four
to five day trips are available through this unspoiled land. Daily
trips on a portion 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
