The Wyoming section spreads out into wide, high desert plains. Summer water temperatures are cool, providing excellent fishing and water sports. Boaters should note reefs and rocks are not marked. Due to fluctuating lake levels, boaters must use lake maps and familiarize-themselves with locations of hazards. Lake maps and other educational publications may be purchased from the Flaming Gorge Natural History Association.
Safety equipment is required by state law.
Boaters careful not to disturb wildlife can enjoy dramatic views of nesting osprey, bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, and pelicans. The lake is world famous. Record-breaking and trophy fish have been caught on the lake both summer and winter. Buckboard Marina - 25 miles south of Green River, WY off WY 530.
