Flaming Geyser State Park ![]() Flaming Geyser State Park encompasses 667 acres of woodland, marsh, riverbank and meadow on the south side of the Green River. Located at the downstream end of the Green River gorge, Flaming Geyser State Park Recreation Area is a popular take-out point for rafters and kayakers enjoying whitewater adventures in the gorge. During summer low-water levels, the park is very popular with people floating on inner tubes, air mattresses, and other floating devices. The Green River is usually one of the top ten steelheading rivers in Washington, adding to our use, especially in the winter months. Flaming Geyser derives its name from the seepage of methane gas from an old test core bored into the underlying coal seams. The gas, when ignited, creates a small torch flame in a rock pit. The Flaming geyser, and its smaller companion, the Bubbling geyser, are both unique and intriguing features. While only burning 6 to 10 inches high now, in its younger days the Flaming geyser burned several feet high with higher gushes of fire and water. It was even featured in "Ripley's Believe It or Not".
