Green River Reservoir State Park Details
This wild and mostly undeveloped park is a paradise for nature lovers looking for a quieter place to spend time outdoors. It is centered around the sprawling Green River Reservoir, which means most of this 5,503-acre park is only accessible by boat. So, if you choose to camp here, you should be prepared to kayak or canoe at least 1 to 2 miles just to reach your primitive campsite. There are virtually no facilities in the park, but that secluded remoteness is part of the reason why this park is so spectacular. Besides the beavers, moose, otters, and loons, you might not even see another soul in this park during your entire visit.
