Access

Type Name Elevation Camping Water Boat ramp Vehicle access Description
Put-In Nefertiti Access Point 4,156 Feet Yes No No High Clearance

Can launch a raft here but there is no boat ramp.  Mainly used by small watercraft running the Green River Daily.  From the town of Green River take the road just east of the river and follow it past swaseys beach to the put-in.  From swasey's beach the road is all dirt.  Most cars can make it but high clearance is a plus.

Camps

Camp Fee Beach Description
Nefertiti Camp No Yes

A nice camp on river left that has fire pits and picnic tables.  Good access to the camp from the river on the very large recirculating eddy on river left.  Can be crowded and noisy on the weekends.  Pretty quiet during the week though.
