Description: Big Dry Creek is a branch of Blacks Fork of the Green River. When Flaming Gorge Reservoir on the Green River is at full capacity this lower section of Big Dry Creek is underwater. However, the reservoir is currently (9/15/2015) low by 7 feet, leaving this area dry enough to be vegetated by Timothy and sedges and used for grazing.
