Glendo State Park

Within sight of 10,272 foot Laramie Peak, Glendo Reservoir serves as an
important resting and feeding place for numerous wetlands birds. It is also
very attractive to migrant and nesting passerine species as they follow the
North Platte River during migration. Glendo Dam and reservoir are features of
the Pick Sloan Missouri Basin Project - Glendo Unit. Recreation is managed for
the Bureau of Reclamation by Wyoming State Parks and Historic Sites. Located
on the North Platte River, 6 miles southeast of the town of Glendo, in Platte
County. Glendo State Park has 7 campgrounds, 6 boat ramps, and a marina
concession. Available species include walleye, yellow perch, and channel
catfish. Channel catfish are stocked in the reservoir. Brown trout, rainbow
trout, and channel catfish are stocked in the river above the reservoir. Below
the dam, the river is stocked with brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout. Plans
to stock the river immediately below the dam with largemouth bass and channel
catfish.Scenic overlooks and three interpretive nature trails. The Glendo Dam
Wetlands Trail, located along the river, just below the dam, features two
fishing/observation piers. The Muddy Bay Wetlands Interpretive Nature Trail is
located on the east side of Muddy Bay. Glendo Dam Overlook Trail is located
north of Glendo Dam. Across from Glendo Powerplant below the dam there is a
boat ramp giving access to the North Platte River. Current Reservoir Levels

Guernsey State Park

One hundred and eighty miles below Alcova Dam and 25 miles below Glendo Dam,
the Guernsey Dam, North Platte Project, controls the river flow of the North
Platte. Water released from Pathfinder Reservoir can be stored and released to
fit varying irrigation demands. Water is released through the Guernsey
Powerplant. The dam is in a rocky canyon 2 miles northwest of the town of
Guernsey, in Platte County, Wyoming. Recreation is managed for the Bureau of
Reclamation by Wyoming State Parks and Historic Sites. Guernsey State Park has
7 campgrounds and 3 boat ramps. Available species include walleye, yellow
perch, and channel catfish. Although the reservoir has 2,400 surface acres and
27 miles of shoreline, Guernsey Reservoir is severely drawn down twice a year,
which affects fish population densities. Current Reservoir Levels The primary
historic attractions at Guernsey Reservoir reflect the efforts of the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930's. The reservoir has many attractive CCC-
built picnic and overlook structures, trails, water fountains, stone retaining
walls, and bridges, as well as dam-related support buildings. The Guernsey
Museum, located on the southeast end of the reservoir, contains exhibits on
the area's natural history and local history including native cultures,
settlement and industries, and the construction of the dam and powerplant.
Lake Guernsey State Park is a National Historic Landmark.
