Aenry's Fork enters the Green River approximately 1/2 mile below Station
No. 7. Discharge rates of this stream range from 500 cfs during spring run-
off to 0.4 cfs in October. Much of the flow is diverted, during summer months,
for irrigation purposes. The stream gradient at the mouth of Henry's Fork is
very slight, and large beds of silt and sand have been deposited. This silt
and sand gives away to gravel and hardpan about three miles upstream from
the mouth. Above this point, gravel, boulders and sand comprise the stream
bed. An arm of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir will extend approximately 5
miles up Henry's Fork.

Henry's Fork
Approximately 8 miles from the mouth - 7/1959
Populations of native and brook trout are present in the headwaters of
Henry's Fork, but no game fish exist in the lower section at the present
time.
Sheep Creek enters the Green River at the upper end of Hideout Forest
Camp through a very narrow canyon. The bottom of the stream, at the mouth,
is sand and gravel. Trout populations exist a short distance above the mouth
of this stream. Brown trout were shocked approximately 1 mile above the
mouth, and rainbow are stocked by the Utah Fish and Game Department in the
upper sections. The stream sustains a flow during the entire year, and is
quite clear except during run-off periods. No discharge rates are available
for this stream.
