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 floating it. 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. All are identified by number on the map at the bottom of this page.

Information on river reports and stream flows can be found on our reports page. More info on the area can be found on the page for Saratoga - Platte Valley C of C
