Authorities Warn Not To Float The Green River Now

The Sweetwater County Sheriff's office is, once again, warning of the dangers of floating on the Green River. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says the warning comes after the tragic death in Sublette County on July 2nd of a young boy after the canoe he was riding in capsized.







According to reports, the young boy was not wearing a life jacket. Blust says a personal floatation device could improve your chances of surviving, but, in some cases, it may not be enough.







Back on a June 15th, three Green River teenagers were pulled to safety from the River. Blust says what saved them was that they were wearing life jackets.
