It is believed this applies also to the <br /> <br /> <br />Green River downstream from Fontenelle Dam in Wyoming and <br /> <br /> <br />as far as the Hammond Diversion downstream from Navajo Dam <br /> <br /> <br />in New Mexico, although at the time recreation studies <br /> <br /> <br />were being made, these reaches were in a postponed status <br /> <br /> <br />and were not included. <br /> <br />1--" <br />-..J <br />0) <br />w <br /> <br />6' Specifi ca lly, canoei ng and kayaki ng potential ranges from <br /> <br /> <br />excellent to good for all except two reaches.
