Vast stretches of sage-covered prairie that once grazed buffalo herds now provide space for antelope, deer and wild horses. Wind River Country has gained an international reputation for offering some of the best hiking, fishing and packing in the world. There is unlimited outdoor recreation in our mountains, deserts, lakes and streams. Trails access more than one million acres of national forest and wilderness areas of the Wind River and Absaroka Ranges. Wind River Country sports some of the best fishing in North America in 43,000 acres of lakes and reservoirs and nearly 2,000 miles of streams fed by mountain snow melt.
Fishing is a year-round adventure in Wyoming.
You can access our blue ribbon fishing by boat, pack animals, four-wheelers and by foot. Historical South Pass summit is the only place where wagon trains could cross the Continental Divide over the Rocky Mountains. Then visit South Pass and Atlantic City, where miners still pan for gold, and ghost towns share their stories. Wildlife watching is a year-round adventure. Moose, elk, antelope, wild horses, eagles and more live in our open spaces and mountain wilderness areas.
