Green River

The Green River is a major tributary of the Colorado River, flowing through Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Known for its clear, green-tinted water, it plays a vital role in the regional ecosystem and water supply. Historically, the river supported local communities, wildlife, and agriculture. Its name comes from the greenish hue caused by mineral-rich sediments. Today, the Green River is popular for outdoor activities like fishing, boating, and camping, and it is essential for maintaining water resources in the arid western United States.
