Green River truly is an oasis in the arid high desert plateau. The “Green River”, for which the town takes its name, winds through the heart of the town. “Blue Ribbon” trout fishing can be found from the banks in town!
The city offers many recreational opportunities; Expedition Island, in the center of town has many attractions. The Green Belt walking tour is accessible for those that want to walk, ride a bike and in some areas ride a horse. You can begin or end your journey on the Green Belt on Expedition Island. Many kinds of wildlife can be seen along the way, deer, beaver, otters and numerous species of birds all within City limits.
Green River offers a great feature that kayakers love to play in at the U-Drop. Evers Park located adjacent to Expedition Island is open and free to the public. From Memorial Day to Labor Day the Splash Parks offers family fun seven days a week. The River is home to several species of fish and many folks enjoy fly-fishing and spin casting right in town.
Looking for wild horses? Well you are in luck, the west entrance to the Wild Horse Loop tour can be accessed right in town and in a matter of minutes you can be overlooking the high desert, viewing the wild horses.
Beautiful rock formations surround the area and have been given very lofty and romantic names…with Castle Rock, the City’s sentinel over looking the north part of town to Mansface, Eagles Rock, Giant’s Thumb, Palisades and Tollgate—imagination and history are reflected in each name.
The Bike Park gives locals and tourists another reason to enjoy Green River. The Bike Park is a mountain bike skills riding area with features that everyone from beginners to “extreme” riders will love and be able to ride on. The Park has elevated paths, boulders, jumps, a pump area and more.
Not into two wheeled recreation? Then dust off the skate board and try your skills at the Skate Park with a Bank Ramp, Piano Bank Ramp, Stairs, Grind Rail (Kinked), Planter, Picnic Table, Grindbox, Quarter Pipe (Raked), Quarter Pipe, Jump Box, Pyramid Section, Wedge, and a Euro Gap.
