Flaming Gorge Dam Visitor Center
The Flaming Gorge Dam Visitor Center is operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. It is a popular spot for visitors to the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area and is along Hwy 191 near Dutch John.
The visitor center provides information about the Flaming Gorge Dam and the reservoir.
Flaming Gorge Reservoir was created in 1962 with the completion of the Flaming Gorge Dam on the Green River by the Bureau of Reclamation. At 502 feet tall, the dam is part of the Colorado River Storage Project, and provides water storage, hydroelectricity, and recreation. There are three generating units in the Flaming Gorge Power Plant, which produce enough energy annually to serve about 50,000 households.
