Flaming Gorge Map – Depth, Hazards & 500+ POI in Your Pocket

A paper map can show you the shape of Flaming Gorge. It can’t show you where the Red Canyon ledges sit, how the shoreline moves with the dam’s drawdown, or where the trophy lake trout structure holds. Lake Genius puts all 91 miles – from the Utah canyons up into the Wyoming open water – on your phone, with daily-updated depth and hazards, and it works offline.

More Than a Paper Map. More Than a Generic App.

A printed map shows a single snapshot, not much use on a reservoir whose shoreline shifts by tens of feet with seasonal drawdown. Generic boating apps stretch static data across the whole country and price it accordingly.

Lake Genius is built for Flaming Gorge specifically. The map updates daily, redraws the shoreline to the current level, and works fully offline once downloaded, which matters when coverage drops through the canyon arms.

Underwater Terrain & Depth Contours

See What's Under the Surface

How the X-Ray View works

Flaming Gorge’s canyon walls hide what’s beneath them, with submerged rocks, ledges, and drawdown-exposed structure, plus sharp drop-offs in the canyon arms. Zoom in and the X-Ray View renders a simulated 3D view of the bottom: depth contours beneath the water, hazards within 9 feet of the surface highlighted, and the current waterline in red. It updates daily, so you see today’s hazards, not last season’s.

91 Miles of Canyon Across Two States – All Mapped

Flaming Gorge changes character as you go: the dramatic red-rock canyons of Utah at the south end, the wider open water of Wyoming to the north. Lake Genius maps the whole reservoir, including Red Canyon, Sheep Creek Bay, Hideout Canyon, Antelope Flat, and the open Wyoming waters, so you always know where you are across all 91 miles and which state’s rules you’re under, online or off.

BEACHES, COVES, FISHING & CAMPING

2,000+ Points of Interest – Curated, Not Crowdsourced

Lake Genius carries 2,000+ curated points of interest across every lake it covers, placed by our team rather than crowdsourced. At Flaming Gorge, that includes:

Marinas and launch ramps

Lucerne Valley Marina (Utah, west shore near Manila), Cedar Springs Marina (Utah, near Flaming Gorge Dam at Dutch John), and Buckboard Crossing Marina (Wyoming, near McKinnon; seasonal), all full-service. Antelope Flat is a USFS paved ramp on the Utah side near Dutch John, and the marina ramps round out the access points; Buckboard Crossing and Antelope Flat are the most water-level-sensitive.

Canyons and landmarks

Red Canyon, Flaming Gorge Dam, Sheep Creek Bay, Hideout Canyon, and the open Wyoming water to the north.

Fishing spots

Trophy lake trout (“Macs”), kokanee, rainbow trout, and smallmouth bass structure. Flaming Gorge also holds burbot, an invasive species that anglers are required to kill on the catch.

Fishing at Flaming Gorge

Fish Smarter With the Depth Map

Flaming Gorge is arguably the best lake trout fishery in the lower 48, and it’s a structure game. Trophy “Macs,” kokanee, rainbows, and smallmouth all relate to depth and the canyon contours. The X-Ray View’s depth contours help you find the ledges, drop-offs, and humps where fish hold, and you can adjust the water level in the app to scout how that structure changes. Mark a spot, drop a photo pin, and it’s there next trip.

Download for Offline Use

Download the Map. Use It Everywhere.

Coverage holds at the main marinas but drops through the canyon arms. Download the Flaming Gorge map before you launch and the interactive map, X-Ray View, depth contours, POI, GPS navigation, and saved routes all work without a connection. Water level and weather pulls need a brief signal, so grab those at Lucerne Valley or Cedar Springs first.
