In late March 2017, American Whitewater celebrated the official opening of boat passage through the Tusher Diversion Dam on the Green River near Green River, UT. Completion of the boat passage has freed the Green River from its last in-stream obstruction between the Flaming Gorge Dam and the confluence with the Colorado River – over 400 floatable river miles through iconic canyons and historic landmarks. Since the original diversion structure was damaged in the 2010-2011 floods, American Whitewater worked with state and federal agencies, private water users, the local boating community, and dedicated AW volunteers to secure safe passage for boaters and fish through the new diversion structure.
