Red Canyon Campground is located in a grassy meadow high above Flaming Gorge Reservoir in northeastern Utah along Red Canyon Road at an elevation of 7,400 feet. Visitors enjoy exploring the Red Canyon Rim Trail and canoeing and fishing at Greens Lake. ( THIS IS NOT THE RED CANYON IN SOUTHERN UTAH-_ THAT ONE IS NOT RESERVABLE.)
Nearby Greens Lake offers great canoeing and fishing for rainbow and brook trout. Red Canyon Lodge sits on the shore. Canoe and bike rentals, horseback riding, a restaurant and gift shop are available.
Red Canyon Rim Trail, for hiking and biking, begins at the nearby visitor center, which offers interpretive displays and area information.
This small campground contains family campsites with picnic tables and campfire rings. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided.
The campground lies close to beautiful cliffs overlooking Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Lodgepole and ponderosa pines dot the campground, providing limited shade. Summer wildflowers are plentiful.
Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is known not only for its beautiful red cliffs, but also for its world-class fishing for lake, brown and rainbow trout. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and scuba diving are popular activities on the reservoir.
Flaming Gorge Dam offers guided tours of the working hydroelectric plant and the dam itself; The adjacent visitor center contains area history exhibits.
The Green River below the dam provides spectacular rafting opportunities. A trip down the river offers unique geology, outlaw history and Native American rock art.
Located on Forest Road 095/Red Canyon Road off Highway 44, approximately 40 miles north of Vernal, Utah.
When i visit the Bryce Canyon National Park I always cross the Red Canyon via the Road 12. This place is a really good "warming up" for the Bryce. You should stop your car at least 4-5 times to take photoes if you are not in rush climb a bit higher on the hill among the Hoodoos.
Driving through Red Canyon on scenic Highway 12 was a treat. The deep red color in the mountains along with their unique formations made for a very picturesque drive
On of the best natural beauty you can see in UTAh . High Is scenic - the red color rock formation is mesmerizing. Definitely recommend if you driving towards Bryce Canyon or come to Zion
Beautiful at sunset. Also dog friendly which is a huge bonus! Endless places to explore
Stunning start of the scenic drive! We pulled over every few 20 seconds it seemed. Worth driving slow and looks like there are nice walking trails in addition to hiking trails. Seems like a perfect spot for a Sunday picnic.
