No state fishing license is required to fish on East or West Green’s Lake.  If you are a guest staying at Red Canyon Lodge, you may fish all you want on either lake.  If you are just stopping by for the day, you do need to stop by our gift shop and purchase a $7 fishing permit that is needed for East Green’s Lake only, then you can fish all day at the lakes.  Please remember both lakes are catch & release only and artificial flies & lures only.

Is swimming permitted in East or West Green’s Lake?
You can swim in the lakes and in fact, it is a lot of fun! Our lake is like any other mountain lake so be cautious and wear a life jacket. As always, safety first. You can’t beat a pedal boat ride and jump into the center of the lake on a hot summer day!
