Green River State Park - #1


Green River State Park is an oasis of green and a canopy of cottonwoods in an otherwise desolate Green River, Utah.  The State Park is located on the banks of the Green River and is popular with river runners who put in here and run the Green River through Labyrinth and Stillwater Canyons.  The Green River runs another 400 miles before connecting with the Colorado River and eventually flowing into Lake Powell.  The State Park has about 40 sites with hookups or no hookups.  We only stayed here one night as a stopover on our way to Goblin Valley. Things were hopping in town for the annual Melon Days celebration.
