Self-Guided Rafts for 4 to 15 Riders, Minutes From the Dam
Want to run the Green River on your own schedule? Dutch John Resort rents self-guided rafts that seat 4 to 15 people, so families, friend groups, and youth groups can float together in one boat. Pick up your raft at the resort, get a quick safety briefing from our staff, and you can be on the water below Flaming Gorge Dam in minutes.
The A Section from the dam to Little Hole is 7 miles of clear water, red canyon walls, and fun Class II rapids. Looking for a mellower day? The B Section is a gentle float that suits families and first timers. Rather let someone else steer? Book one of our guided Green River rafting trips instead.
Every raft rental is a full day on the river, with a life jacket and paddle for each seat. Pick the size that fits your group.

A Section, Dam to Little Hole (7 miles): Launch below Flaming Gorge Dam and float through Red Canyon. Expect clear water, rolling waves, and a handful of Class II rapids. Plan on a half day with stops.
B Section, Little Hole to Browns Park: Calmer water, light riffles, and plenty of pull offs for lunch or fishing. A great pick for families. Add a river shuttle so your group starts and ends without the extra drive.
