Beautiful view of the dam and waters below. Disappointed the visitors center was closed for the season so you couldn't walk the dam. They open April 15th.

Flaming Gorge Dam visitor center is a nice place to stop to get a great view of the Green River and the Flaming Gorge Dam . If you’ve been to the Hoover Dam, this place will remind you of it, but only a smaller version. The visitor center is very clean. There’s a gift shop, restrooms, plenty of free parking and shaded picnic tables. The staff is very helpful. There’s a small theater which plays several movies about the history of the dam. There are tours available, which will allow you to take a 48 story elevator down to the bottom of the dam to see the turbines which generate electricity. There is a sky bridge so you can walk over and see the lower side of the dam. Overall, the visitor center is a pleasant place to stop and take a break and enjoy the views.

In August 2025, we visited the Flaming Gorge Dam Visitor's Center at the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in the Northeastern corner of Utah. The Flaming Gorge Dam was completed in 1964, and it has created the Flaming Gorge Reservoir on the Green River. There are walkways here that allow visitors to see the Green River downstream of the Flaming Gorge Dam, as well as panoramic views of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. This was an enjoyable and memorable place to visit and experience.

Awesome dam with amazing views, picnic areas, fishing, and a beautiful scenic drive. The visitor center had great souvenirs and information. We got a stamp for our National Park Passport and a great token. There's so much to see and do here.
