About Curt Gowdy
Curt Gowdy State Park, located 24 miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming, offers excellent fly fishing opportunities across its three reservoirs: Granite, Crystal, and North Crow. Granite Reservoir is known for its rainbow trout and kokanee salmon, while Crystal Reservoir provides shoreline fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout, and kokanee salmon, with a 15-horsepower limit for boating. North Crow Reservoir is a more primitive, day-use fishing area. Anglers can anticipate opportunities for dry fly, nymphing, and streamer fishing in these picturesque Laramie Mountain foothills. The park also features amenities such as a fishing pier and ADA access, making it accessible for many anglers.
