|
The Dirty Devil River near Twin Corral Box Canyon The Dirty Devil River is a tributary of the Colorado River, approximately 80 mi (129 km) long, in south central Utah in the United States.
It is formed in Wayne County near Hanksville from the confluence of the Fremont River and Muddy Creek. It flows SSE through a 2000 foot (600 m) deep canyon in Wayne and Garfield counties. In its lower 20 mi (32 km) it enters Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and flows into Lake Powell on the Colorado from the north.
The canyon of the river is particularly isolated and is seldom visited compared to other natural areas in the region. The river was named during the 1869 Colorado River expedition led by John Wesley Powell. The outlaw Butch Cassidy used tributary canyons of the Dirty Devil as a hideout in the 1890s.
