The recreation area also offers many campgrounds and hiking areas. The trails wind through meadows, tree-covered slopes, and mountain peaks above timberline.
Green River was a vital crossroads in the development of the western frontier. The city is rich in western history and served as a stopover for both the Overland Stage Line and the Pony Express. In addition, several major emigrant trails passed nearby, including the Oregon, California, Mormon and Cherokee trails. With the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in 1868, Green River was firmly established as a major western destination and railroad buffs still enjoy a visit to the working railroad today. Near downtown is Expedition Island National Historic Site - where John Wesley Powell began his famous explorations for the Green River.
Today, Green River offers a fun and relaxing environment for fishing, floating or swimming!
