The Oregon Trail Crossing the Green During the mid-1800s tens of thousands of emigrants were faced with the task of crossing the Green River on their journey along the Oregon Trail. Many enterprising Mountain Men constructed commercial ferries to profit from the emigrants. Crossing the river was dangerous, and wagons were known to tip over killing people, drowning livestock and destroying life-long possessions. This crossing, located within the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge a couple of hours south of Pinedale, was one of 50 crossings in as many miles along the Green River. Old wagon ruts are still visible in places along the east bank on the Green.
