Green River Lake Lodge

We visited this lodge the beginning of November. It was beautiful. Though it is paramount that one has wood. The lovely building is large and only has a wood stove for heat-there are two fireplaces, though truly gaining radiant warmth is not so beneficial from the fireplaces. I think the forest service needs to sincerely understand -especially in the winter-without warmth one could truly be harmed. Perhaps once the winter season opened the wood situation improved-as in is there enough? where is it (it was obvious without snow, but covered in snow?); we brought an ax, thank goodness there was a maul; hopefully the stove continues to work correctly and safely. If you have the option bring a chainsaw.Hopefully you can find some perfect standing dead trees nearby.

I am thrilled this lodge is open for reservations though the price should come with enough wood. Enjoy!! Bring plenty of flashlights and blankets/sleeping bags. It is truly special and spectacular-but cold!

Gorgeous place to stay. The view out the big large picture windows is breathtaking. We set a scope up to look for wildlife up on the high bench to the southeast. The showers were on for part of our visit, before they were turned off for the winter - nice to have a hot shower after days spent hiking. The wood stove works great. Never started the fireplace. Gas stove has an automatic pilot; you just turn the knob and the burner fires up. Bring along some mouse traps. We caught several mice, but none the last two days of our 7 day stay, so must have gotten them all. What we enjoyed the most was kayaking on the lake, and were very glad we brought the inflatable kayaks along. Highly recommend the hike up Clear Creek Valley, although there were reports of grizzly on hunter elk kills while we were there, which made my partner nervous. The only downside is the fishing in the lake and the river was not good during our stay.
