Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

Ashley National Forest begins about 10.9 miles away, and it is the closest of these.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.

Natural features

A forest of ponderosa pines towers over Greendale, offering partial shade. Beneath the trees, grasses and plentiful summer wildflowers cover the campground. Temperatures vary from warm days to cool nights.

Recreation

Bear Canyon Trail is an easy 3-mile round-trip trail beginning a mile away, offering hiking and biking opportunities and leading to views of Red Canyon and Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

Boating, water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and scuba diving are also popular activities. Cedar Springs Marina is 3.5 miles from the campground.
