Flaming Gorge Reservoir extends almost 90 miles into Wyoming offering great boating and fishing opportunities. Record breaking German brown trout and large lake trout, mackinaw and rainbow trout are regularly taken from the waters of the reservoir. The Green River below the dam is a Blue Ribbon trout stream. The Little Hole National Recreation Trail parallels the river 7.3 miles from Flaming Gorge Dam to the Little Hole Day Use Area. River running this section of the Green River is another favorite pastime for visitors.
Equipment is available from nearby concessionaires.
The Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is accessible throughout the year via paved roads. Visitor centers are located at Red Canyon and Flaming Gorge Dam. Sheep Creek Canyon Geological Area is approximately 5 miles south of Manila, Utah and is part of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. This spectacular canyon is filled with twisted, folded rock formations. During the first two weeks of September, Kokanee salmon run from Flaming Gorge Reservoir to spawn in Sheep Creek.
