Augar Road

Trail Overview

Augar Road is an easy and practical gravel route near Green River, Utah, offering riverside camping and a unique alternate view of Crystal Geyser from across the Green River. This route is wide enough for two vehicles to pass the entire way comfortably, making it a relaxed drive for most vehicles in dry conditions. Along the route, you'll pass the local gravel pit, so be prepared for heavy equipment or work traffic. Several large pullout areas and open dirt flats provide additional camping opportunities before reaching the end of the road. The main destination is a dispersed campsite near the river with level ground, an established fire ring, and better protection from the strong winds common in this region. From the overlook, enjoy views of the Green River and look across the water to spot signs of past uranium mining activity. Watch for free-roaming cattle, as open ranching takes place throughout the area.
