The Green River is a 730-mile long river that flows through Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. It is known for its beautiful canyons and unique geology. The river was first explored by John Wesley Powell in 1869 and was a major transportation route for Native Americans and settlers. The river is fed by numerous tributaries and is known for its hydroelectric power potential. There are several reservoirs and dams along the river, including Flaming Gorge Dam, which was completed in 1964 and provides irrigation water for agriculture and recreational opportunities such as boating and fishing. The Green River is also popular for whitewater rafting, hiking, and camping. The river is critical for agriculture in the region, providing water for crops such as hay, alfalfa, and wheat.

The Green River is a tributary of the Lillooet River in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Approximately 25 kilometres in length, it begins at the outflow of Green Lake in Whistler and flows northeast to join the Lillooet River about two kilometres above where the river flows into Lillooet Lake. Its main tributaries are the Soo River and the river-like Rutherford Creek, which is the location of one of only two artificial whitewater kayaking courses in Canada. Just below Rutherford Creek is Nairn Falls.
