About Red Canyon Lodge
There are some places that you just can’t forget and Red Canyon Lodge is one of them. Guests come back year after year because they can't get enough of this place and the experience it has to offer. This little oasis is rich in history and has grown from quant rustic cabins to a beautiful resort nestled amongst the ponderosa pines. Adventure is part of our history starting with john wesley powell and butch cassidy. Both left their mark on this beautiful country. Float the river like powell did and find an escape like butch cassidy.
We share this scenic spot with a lot of locals, including herds of mule deer, moose and hundreds of songbirds and big horn sheep. Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area offers outdoor recreation galore without the national park crowds.
This place makes you want to get up at 5:30 in the morning just to make sure you don’t miss the sunrise. We are steps away from Flaming Gorge Reservoir and The Green River which both provide world class fishing, recreation and adventuring.
Red Canyon Lodge is Hidden in Ashley National Forest, backing onto the Uinta mountains. With a 100,000 acre guiding permit we seek to explore and enjoy these mountains every chance we get. But even with all this land our greatest attraction are the two private fishing lakes on the immediate property. Both lakes contain trophy rainbow and tiger trout. We offer rowboats, peddle boats, SUP’s Canoes, Kayaks and horseback rides to guests as well as staff so they can enjoy their time off.
We have a full service restaurant where people drive miles just to dine with us and gander at the beautiful wild birds. Our A Frame lodge with an all glass front provides amazing views that are hard to beat.
Our aim is to provide an experience where the moments on our property, working with our staff and enjoying our recreation will linger in their memories for years to come.
