My friend and I used Flaming Gorge Resort to float the Green river this last weekend and went out with Ivan. We had an amazing time, learned SO much, and every single employee at the resort we so helpful and accommodating. Food at the restaurant was good, the fly shop and gift shop is great as well. I'd recommend anybody looking for a good time near flaming gorge to check these guys out!
We spent Labor Day weekend here and it was awesome. The rooms were so nice and the beds were super comfortable after a long day on the lake. The store was filled with lots of fishing gear for all the different types of fishing the river and the gorge have to offer. The people in there knew exactly what you needed to catch fish for the weekend. The restaurant was just as great as the rest of the place. Very fun weekend and we will be back for sure.
What a vacation! We booked a 2 night stay with a float trip to fish the river and wow! The rooms are clean and decorated for the theme of fishing. The restaurant is priced at price levels to accommodate anybody of what you want from burgers to expensive steaks. The float trip is beautiful, relaxing and rewarding. Shout out to Travis… his experience,expertise and jokes are an award winning time. Thank you to everyone at Flaming Gorge for a great trip.
(pics are unrelated) Never actually stayed here, but I did go to the Flaming Gorge Resort and I went to the restaurant that is there, and it was fantastic. Good food, good burger, quick service, friendly service. They also have a fly shop which is super cool. They had one of my favorite flies ever that I've ever found anywhere. It's the Pellet Fly, exactly as it sounds. You fly to feed fish that grow in hatcheries. Anyways, besides the point, but this place is great and it's close to the Green River which I would highly recommend checking in.
Used their shuttle service and it was great. Booked it all online and everything was smooth. Would recommend and will use again.
We have rented rafts multiple times from the Flaming Gorge Resort. Every time we've done so it's been a pleasure. The raft rental place is right off of highway 191 located at the gas station. This is a family run business that runs on kindness, great service, and big personalities. The first time we rented rafts from them we had them drop the rafts off at the top of the dam and pick them up at the bottom. They also offer a shuttle but we chose to do it ourselves. The most recent rental we included a trailer and did it all ourselves. Their service was great. They hooked up the trailer quickly, tied the rafts down, and we were off! I can't recommend this company enough for raft rentals. I've used others in the area and they fell short of the bar set by the Flaming Gorge Resort. Keep up the good work!
We had the best time at this resort. I have been going there since 1985, always great people, helpful staff, great food. Our guides Brody and Cody were THEE BEST, we had a grand time!
We use this place for a quick stop for flies but more specifically the shuttle service. Beats driving two vehicles for a float and totally worth the price. So glad these guys offer what they do. I haven't slept in a hotel but the location is convenient and likely a good winter option for those that don't want to camp.
Set in a remote woodland off US-191, this laid-back resort in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is 3 miles from both the Green River and Cedar Springs Marina.
