Red Canyon Lodge is pet friendly! We charge We have a few simple rules;

1. Do not leave your pet unattended in our cabins.

You may have an outside fire in the fire-ring provided. Please remember that you are in a forested setting and fires need to be attended at all times! Large Bon Fires are unecessary and dangerous. Please make sure your fire is completely out before retiring for the evening. Have Fun – Be Safe!

What about music?
Please leave your loud boom box at home! Sound carries a long way in our peaceful setting and outside noise is often an annoyance to your neighboring guests.

No. Our landlord, the US Forest Service tells us that tents are for campgrounds and all of the guests at Red Canyon Lodge must reside inside our cabins.

Flaming gorge faqs: Horseback Riding

What should I wear to go on the horseback rides?
Ideally, long pants and closed toed shoes are best to wear for horseback rides.

Where do the horseback rides go?
The horseback trails wander through the ponderosa pine forest around our location.

Do I need to be a guest staying at Red Canyon Lodge to go on horseback rides?
Anyone can schedule a horseback ride with us!  It is best to call ahead and schedule a ride, if you have a certain time you would like to go.

flaming gorge faqs: East and West Green’s Lakes

Do I need a state fishing license to fish East & West Green’s Lakes?
No state fishing license is required to fish on East or West Green’s Lake.  If you are a guest staying at Red Canyon Lodge, you may fish all you want on either lake.  If you are just stopping by for the day, you do need to stop by our gift shop and purchase a $5 fishing permit that is needed for East Green’s Lake only, then you can fish all day at the lakes.  Please remember both lakes are catch & release only and artificial flies & lures only.

Is swimming permitted in East or West Green’s Lake?
You can swim in the lakes, but we do discourage it.  The lakes have weed beds that are very thick and there are also leeches in the lakes.  There is a swim beach about 25 minutes from us at Mustang Ridge.  This is a safer option for swimming.
