Adventure Tips
Know the River Sections
The Green River has three main sections each with varying flow and fish behavior; ask your guide which section suits your skill and goals.
Bring Layered Clothing
Weather on the river can shift quickly, so dress in moisture-wicking layers that adapt from cool mornings to warm afternoons.
Stay Hydrated
The dry Utah climate and steady paddling can dehydrate you fast—carry plenty of water and sip regularly throughout your trip.
Practice Catch & Release
To sustain the river’s thriving fish population, handle trout carefully and release them promptly as guided by your outfitter.
