About This Access Site
The Rainbow Park boat ramp provides access to the Green River in northeastern Utah's Split Mountain Canyon. Located 28 miles from Dinosaur National Monument's Quarry Visitor Center, the ramp sits beside the Rainbow Park Campground along a remote, unpaved road that can be impassable when wet.

This section of the Green River features a moderate current and is popular with kayakers, canoeists, and small motorboats. The ramp allows easy access to the river for day trips or multi-day trips through the scenic Split Mountain Canyon. Paddlers should be prepared for potential hazards like rapids and boulder fields, and check river conditions before launching. Overnight parking is available at the campground, which has no hookups or winter maintenance. Nearby services and supplies can be found in the town of Green River, about 10 miles away.

While the Rainbow Park boat ramp doesn't have any developed amenities, it offers a remote, scenic access point to explore the Green River through Split Mountain Canyon. Boaters and paddlers should use caution, plan accordingly, and leave no trace to help protect this special natural area.
