Flaming Gorge Reservoir was created in 1962 with the completion of the Flaming Gorge dam on the Upper Green River. The dam was created to provide water storage and hydroelectricity. The lake is 91 miles long with 350 miles of shoreline. The Utah section of the lake winds through colorful, narrow canyons; the Wyoming portion is wider and surrounded by high sagebrush deserts. The lake is managed by the Forest Service as part of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
