Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area
Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, including the section of the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam, is administered by the Ashley National Forest. This rugged wildland stretches from Wyoming high deserts, where herds of antelope play along the lake shore, to the forested slopes of Utah's Uinta Mountains. A diverse land of scenic beauty, Flaming Gorge lends itself to many memorable outdoor adventures.
