Notes
Flaming Geyser State Park is a 480-acre day-use park with over three miles of freshwater shoreline on the Green River. The park’s most unique feature is its “geysers” (methane seeps). In 1911, miners drilled a coal test hole at the edge of Christy Creek. They hit pockets of methane gas and salty water at around 1,000 feet down. For many years, fire reached heights of 25 feet, and nearly 20 gallons of water a minute spewed from the hole. Because most of the gas has been depleted, the geyser has been reduced to a small flicker with dribbles of water.
The park offers over four miles of trails for hikers. There’s also a self-guided, Salmon Interpretive Trail that’s accessible to people with disabilities.
