Boysen State Park is surrounded by the Wind River Indian Reservation and offers both day-use and overnight camping facilities. Boysen Reservoir is well-known as one of Wyoming’s best walleye and trout fisheries. During most of the season, the reservoir is warm enough for all water sports and an easily accessible swimming beach is located on the east shore. Water skiing is a popular sport here. Concessions and a marina serve the north end of the lake and offer food, bait, boat fuel and fishing licenses. In winter, the reservoir has first-rate ice fishing. The 40,000-acre park is located about 100 miles west of Casper and has entrances on U.S. 20 and U.S. 26.
Writer M. Scott Momaday once waxed poetic about Devils Tower, proclaiming "There are things in nature that engender an awful quiet in the heart of man." President Theodore Roosevelt showed his love of preservation (and an economy of words) when he declared this "lofty and isolated rock" a national monument 100 years ago. Thirty years ago, Steven Spielberg celebrated the monument's otherworldly appeal by choosing Devils Tower as the UFO landing site in his movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind. read more
