About this river

Uinta River

The Uinta River is a tributary of the Green River, located in the northeastern region of Utah. The river runs approximately 80 miles long and is known for its impressive hydrology system. The river's water is sourced from hundreds of small streams in the Uinta Mountains, which provide essential water resources for irrigation and recreation in the region. The river is home to numerous reservoirs and dams, including the Moon Lake Dam and the Upper Stillwater Dam, which provide electricity and flood control to the area. The river is a popular destination for recreational activities, including camping, hiking, and fishing, and it also supports agricultural activities such as cattle ranching and crop irrigation. Despite its importance to the region, the river has experienced pollution and degradation due to agricultural and urban runoff.
