Facility Details - NEW FORK LAKE, WY

Overview

New Fork Lake Campground is located next to scenic New Fork Lake, at the edge of the Wind River Range in northwestern Wyoming. It sits at an elevation of 7,800 feet. Visitors enjoy hiking and horseback riding into the adjacent Bridger Wilderness, as well as boating and fishing on the lake.

Natural Features:

The campground is made up of a loop of single sites, which is situated closer to the lakeshore, among a grove of aspens. A separate group camping area lies in a grassy meadow surrounded by lodgepole pines, which provide only limited shade. Wildlife and summer wildflowers are abundant in the area.

Recreation:

The 1,070-acre New Fork Lake offers great boating, canoeing and swimming. Anglers fish for kokanee salmon and brook, lake and rainbow trout. A large cement boat ramp is located a mile and a half from the campground, at the lake's northwestern shore.

New Fork Trail, for hiking and horseback riding, begins at the entrance to the neighboring Narrows Campground (2.5 miles away). The trail provides back country access through New Fork Canyon into the Bridger Wilderness, and connects with several other trails. Horse corrals are located at the trailhead.

The campground's large group site can accommodate up to 150 people, with picnic and serving tables, grills and parking. The lake is not visible from the group campsite.

Several single-family campsites are also available within the campground, some of which have lake views. Single sites are equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings and grills.
