flaming gorge national recreation area is located in the states of wyoming and utah. for thousands of years the green river carved its course through the colorful rock formations of the area to form the deep canyons that now serve as a geographic marvel to all visitors. with the construction of the flaming gorge dam in the early 1960’s, a recreational setting was established which has become one of the most visited sites in the continental united states. visitors and residents alike are spellbound by the beauty of the flaming gorge national recreation area, with its 91 mile long lake, the green river and its deep canyons.
