Bighorn Lake
Update
An above-average year for snowpack holds promise for filling depleted
Bighorn Lake in northern Wyoming. For the first time in seven years, there
are plans to have the marina open as well as a tour boat service that will
allow visitors to experience the deep canyons that make this area incredible.
The campground at Horseshoe Bend has also renovated and now offers water and
electric - go check it out.
Bighorn Campground
Closures
Boulder Park, the popular RV camp at the top of Tensleep Canyon, is going
to be closed in 2008 for renovations. Nearby Bull Creek (near Meadowlark Reservoir)
is also closed until further notice for tree removal.
Medicine
Bow/Sierra Madre Campground Closures
Silver Lake Campground (Medicine Bow) and Haskins Creek Campground (Sierra
Madre) have been closed indefinitely-- the Forest Service is saying these
campgrounds are now permanently closed. Hog Park (the best and largest campground
in the Sierra Madre) will also be closed for 2008, though the fishing/boating
facilities will remain open. Ryan Park and South Brush Creek (west side of
Medicine Bow Mountains) will have partial closures this season. All of these
campgrounds have experienced bark beetle damage and the trees are now prone
to falling (or blowing) over.
