4 Best and Fun Things To Do In Dutch John, Utah


TouristWire Editors

Although it may have limited attractions, Dutch John, a quaint community with a unique name, offers an alluring charm.

Nestled along the banks of the Green River, the town’s biggest draw is its opportunities for fishing, fly-fishing in particular. Many anglers also make Dutch John their base for fishing trips in other parts of the area.

The only other attraction in the town itself is the Flaming Gorge Dam, which offers guided tours of the hydroelectric plant, while the adjoining visitor center features exhibits detailing the history of the area.

Here, you’ll also find a campground with scenic views of the water and a few basic amenities. There is also a small dock and a boat ramp located two miles away.
