Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area

Utah Home | Utah Sitemap
This 40,000-acre plot sees quite a bit of action during the summer and on weekends throughout the year. The gorge is the product of the nearby Flaming Gorge Dam, which is a five hundred foot tall river management wall.

The reservoir has seen campgrounds springing up since the 1960’s, when the dam was built. As a result, visitors can get an in depth look at the interworkings and history of the dam, ride horses through wooded trails and canyons, fish the still waters, bring a picnic, camp out, hunt, partake in water sports, etc.

The U.S. Geological Service has thoroughly plotted the land, for those willing to explore past the designated campgrounds.
