All of our heated cabins stay open through winter. Couples can book a Get-Away Cabin with a king bed. Families fit in the two bedroom Moose and Fish cabins. Fishing groups and holiday gatherings spread out in the Wild Bunch Hideouts or the Outlaw Hideout, which sleep 12 to 14.
Every cabin is climate controlled, most have a private fire pit, and the store sells firewood. Winter RV camping is also available for hardy guests.

The Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is a tailwater. Water leaves the dam at a steady 39 to 41°F all year, so while other rivers freeze, this one keeps fishing. Midges hatch all winter, and on the warmest part of the day trout rise to dry flies.
Winter is your shot at trophy size Browns, Rainbows, Cutthroats & Cuttbows, with January and February bringing the most solitude. Read more on why winter is prime time for trout, then book a winter guided fishing trip. Guides provide rods, reels, flies, waders and hand warmers.
