As one of the most aptly named landscapes in the country, the vast scenery of Flaming Gorge may not fit into your camera. The Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (NRA) is centered long the 91-mile section of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir and a rugged section of the Green River. The mix of climate and topography provide year-round recreation. The southern part includes colorful, narrow canyons, and conifer forests; the northern part is surrounded by high sagebrush deserts and rock mesas. Campgrounds, lodges, marinas, boat launches, swimming beaches, fishing areas, and hiking/ski trails are available along the 360 miles of shoreline and tucked into mountain retreats. Close at hand are the quaint communities of Manila, Green River, and Dutch John, which have accommodations and other services.

Beaitifull place. The fishing is great. Come to the annual Burbot bash. Great fun.
Beautiful place! Lake views! You can bring your boat, jet ski, side by side! Fun for kids and adults! At night gets cold! Bring a jacket!
Stayed at Antelope Flats. Kayaked across the reservoir to Green River and came upon Dahl Sheep, 20 feet away. The visitor's center at the dam was nice. Kayaked below the dam for several miles. Class 2 rapids.
The Flaming Gorge National Recreation area is incredibly beautiful! This is the prettiest area that I have ever kayaked at. I launched at the Sheep Creek Boat Launch Area ($5 fee per day and boats are inspected). The visitor centers have souvenirs. There are many trails to hike to overlooks around the reservoir that are pet friendly.
Great place! Camped here for 1 night as I was passing through. Really beautiful place to visit. I did not boat or fish, but really enjoyed the views and took a few pictures. Drive in from Utah was pretty as I came through Vernal and the Uintahs. I'd like to visit again with my family.
