Big Horn County Recreation
Family-Oriented Recreation
If you love wide open spaces you will love Wyoming!
Big Horn County offers two major water playgrounds:
Big Horn River and Big Horn Lake. If boating and
floating aren't your thing you can still enjoy
wading, splashing and fishing in the numerous creeks
that meander through the county, including cold mountain streams. Reservoirs are also a popular
hangout. Can you say "Ice fishing"?
Forget
the CITY NIGHT LIFE and discover the COUNTRY WILD
LIFE! Wyoming has
wildlife habitat! You
will be amazed by the animals you may see from your
yard or just driving down the road. Deer, rabbit,
pheasants, turkeys, duck, fox, coyotes, and
antelope are common in the low land. In the
Big Horn Mountains you will find elk, moose, bighorn sheep
and bear. All this wildlife make Wyoming a favorite
for hunters.
