North Platte River

From CO state line to I-80

The North Platte is a big river, covering lots of territory and diversity in Wyoming. There are quite a few public access points to the river. One of the best ways to fish the river is by floatingit. Most access points have boat ramps or places for put-in and take-out. Be sure to pick up a current Wyoming fishing regulations book, or check locally for regs.

We have listed 9 access points for you here. See the map on the map
