Fishing - Curt Gowdy

About:

There are three reservoirs: Granite, Crystal and North Crow. Granite offers excellent rainbow trout and kokanee salmon fishing. Crystal, the smallest of the reservoirs, has shoreline fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. North Crow Reservoir is located 5 miles west of the Visitor Center. This reservoir is the only one in the area in which one can catch a splake, rainbow trout, brown trout, and grayling — all in the same day. This is an unimproved day use only area. There are no picnic tables, water supply or comfort stations. Stream fishing opportunities in the park include a walk-in area between Granite and Crystal reservoirs, as well as stream fishing in the inlet to Granite Reservoir and the Upper North Crow Reservoir outlet.

We are currently in hunting season; with restrictions and limitations for that activity within the park.  Please call ahead for details before hunting in the park.  But as a reminder, the park is only open to BOW HUNTING.

 

Reminder, starting October 1st, all sites go to first come, first serve.  Also, water is shut off in the campgrounds on this date.  We still have showers year-round located at our visitor center.

 

We do NOT have a dump station at the park.  The closest ones are at the Visitor Center in Cheyenne and Wyoming Territorial Prison in Laramie.  Both roughly 25 miles away.
