Flaming Gorge Reservoir

The Flaming Gorge Reservoir, which measures 17,000 hectares and extends into adjacent Utah, is the biggest reservoir in Wyoming. Nevertheless, most of the lake is located in Wyoming along the Green River, encircled by the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.

It is a charming reservoir located in a narrow, steep gorge at a height of 1,841 meters above sea level. Additionally, this produces some fascinating geological scenery that is well worth taking pictures of. The surrounding red-rock cliffs range in height from three to fifty feet, making cliff-jumping a popular activity for tourists of all ages.

Tourists flock to the Flaming Gorge Reservoir for the scenery alone, but many also come for the boating, windsurfing, water skiing, fishing, backpacking, and camping. Snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing are available during the winter months.
