Sportsmen's Paradise Seen Offshoot Of Flaming Gorge Reservoir Project
The Flaming Gorge reservoir will back up the Green River forming a clearwater lake that rises from barren land. It will feed clear water down the canyon to Lodore and through the park, creating a sporting haven for deer, ducks, geese, and native trout fishing. Officials predict a transformation from a last frontier to a popular public recreation area within about 20 years, with the Green River’s big fish stocking the new lake.

Quiet Whiterocks Beacon To Frontiersmen Across Time
Whiterocks on the Uintah Ouray reservation once served as a frontier beacon to trappers and settlers. Fort Robidoux stood there by the Uintah River after 1832, hosting explorers like Kit Carson and John C Fremont. Now the fort is gone and a modern reservation with homes and schools dominates, including the Uintah school district absorbing Whiterocks Indian school after a 225 783 valuation.
