FLAMING GORGE — The Green River starts in southwest Wyoming, runs through the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Utah to Dinosaur National Monument through some of Utah’s most rugged and remote landscape.

Popular for its beautiful scenery and crystal clear water, the Green River is a great place to go fishing.
