Green River (town of) Travel Information
The river that gave the town of Green River its name is the main
attraction of this small town. The river snakes through extremely
remote canyons in central Utah north of the town and through red rock
canyons south of town before merging with the Colorado River in
Canyonlands National Park. From town one can find some good white
water rafting as well as peaceful and beautiful float trips. The town
of Green River is also a good base from which to explore the starkly
beautiful San Raphael Swell to the west. Of note in town is the John
Wesley Powell Museum, a good small museum about the explorer. Green
River is located just along I-70 in east central Utah. It is 45 miles
northwest of Arches National Park and 60 miles northwest of
Canyonlands. Green River has a good selection of motels and plenty of
places to eat, as well as other essential services for the traveler.
