Public Lands

Public Lands

If there is one thing that can sum up Wind River Country’s greatest attraction, it’s public land. Wyoming’s Wind River Country is expansive, diverse, and uncrowded. Those of us fortunate enough to Live in Wind River Country have a backyard of more than 5 million acres of public land. We are thrilled to invite you to to our playground!

In these more than 5 million acres of public land in the form of forests, mountains, lakes, prairies and colorful desert, it’s easy to pioneer your own adventure in this breathtaking part of the American West. Observe wildlife in their natural habitat or backpack deep into glacial mountains without crossing paths with another human. Summit a 12,000-foot peak in the renowned Cirque of the Towers, paddle rapids down the dramatic Wind River Canyon, and try your luck fishing the high-alpine lakes and streams. Ride your bike in river canyons, atop slick rock, or over feet of snow. Climb a limestone wall just a few miles from town or saddle up and put as many miles between you and civilization as you can. Walk through history along wagon trails and amongst the historically inspired names of our peaks and lakes.

Unplug into heart-opening sunsets, seamless and unpolluted night skies, and the pristine quiet that makes you feel like no place or moment matters but this one.
