Waterskiing, Wakeboarding, Boating

Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is a popular water sports area. Come and enjoy slicing through glassy water on your skis, wakeboard, surfing, or water tube through the magnificent cliffs of Flaming Gorge. The water temperature is nice and cool, making the reservoir a great place to cool off during the summer.

Kayaking, Canoeing, Paddleboarding

Another great way to experience the beautiful Flaming Gorge is by taking a nice canoe, kayak, or paddleboard. If you want to paddle between narrow 1000-foot deep canyons or wide-open areas with beautiful scenery, then this is the place for you.

We rent one or two-person kayaks and paddleboards that make floating on the Flaming Gorge Reservoir or down the Green River exciting!
