The Wyoming Game
and Fish Department, under the direction of the Wyoming Game and Fish
Commission, administers lands and public easement areas that are home to vast
numbers of fish and wildlife. The department maintains approximately
413,000 acres of land under deed, lease or by agreement and continually strives
to acquire new access areas. These areas include access to nearly 225
miles of streams, over 21,000 lake surface areas, and more than 148 miles of
road right-of-ways. Management of these lands demonstrates our state's
commitment to its precious wildlife heritage and those people who seek to enjoy
our wildlife and wild lands.
Wyoming's wildlife habitat management areas provide
crucial winter habitat for big game and important production areas for small
birds and mammals, production and feeding areas for birds of prey, and migration
staging areas for Neotropical birds and shorebirds. In addition, these
areas provide production and feeding habitats for waterfowl and upland game
birds and fish.
Many other state and federal agencies also provide
access to lands in Wyoming. Among them are the State Land and Farm Load
Office, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation.
Access to Wyoming's Wildlife is a guide to the wildlife
habitat management areas and public access areas throughout the state. The
guide will tell you what facilities are available at each location, including
facilities for the physically challenged, what kinds of fish and wildlife might
be found, and what types of recreational activities are permissible.
When you visit Wyoming and any of these areas, please
respect the environment and the rights of private landowners. Stay on
designated roads and trails, and keep areas clean and litter free. Pick up
a copy of the latest hunting and fishing regulations available at any Wyoming
Game and Fish Department office, and know the regulations for each site you
visit.
This publication is dedicated to all who pursue outdoor
wildlife-related recreation opportunities in Wyoming. People play an
important role in the conservation and preservation of the environment.
Enjoy Wyoming's wildlands. Take good care of them in order to share them with
future generations.
