Recreation

Bridger Valley is adjacent to the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, State land and Bureau of Land Management land. All offer a wide variety of outdoor

recreational experiences.

The Uinta Mountains are just 20 miles south of Mountain View. The High Uintas and the Wasatch-Cache National Forest combined have over 250 lakes and more than 400 miles of blue ribbon trout fishing. There are also hundreds of miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking and ATV/snowmobile riding. The Deadhorse Trailhead Map is available online (you’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader; 500K file size) or by calling the Mountain View Ranger District office at 307-782-6555. Fishing, camping, wilderness excursions and other recreational opportunities can all be found in the High Uintas.

Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is 52 miles east of Bridger Valley. This 90-mile-long lake has approximately 375 miles of shoreline ranging from low flats to cliffs more than 1,500 feet high. Camping, fishing, boating, water skiing, and sightseeing can be enjoyed there.

The Green River which flows into and out of Flaming Gorge Reservoir offers excellent opportunities for rafting and trout fishing.

Bear River State Park located 35 miles west of Bridger Valley is Wyoming’s newest State park. Take a stroll along the Bear River, stop to watch the Bison or Elk or spend an afternoon enjoying a picnic.
