Green River

Wyoming's flowing waters

Green River names several rivers in the United States, most notably the major tributary of the Colorado River flowing through Wyoming and Utah.

The term also refers to a lime-flavored soft drink popular in the Midwest, and to the serial killer Gary Ridgway, known as the Green River Killer for disposing of victims near Washington's Green River.

We rafted the Green River through Canyonlands.
