Hawk Springs State Recreation Area

What sets Hawk Springs State Recreation Area apart is its tranquil charm, offering a quiet retreat with serene lakeside views, thriving birdlife, and the opportunity for water-based recreation. Located just 10 miles north of La Grange, Wyoming, this campground features 24 primitive campsites that provide a simple yet peaceful escape amidst the natural beauty of southeastern Wyoming.

The campground is set along the western shore of Hawk Springs Reservoir, where visitors can enjoy fishing for largemouth bass, walleye, and channel catfish or bird-watching at the great blue heron rookery accessible by boat. Each campsite includes amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and nearby restrooms, with potable water available seasonally. A boat ramp and dock make it easy to access the water, and a small playground adds to its family-friendly appeal.

Situated about 25 miles south of Torrington, the area is ideal for fishing weekends, quiet stopovers, or day trips that embrace the relaxed Wyoming lifestyle. Its lack of campsite hookups ensures a more nature-focused experience, perfect for campers looking to unplug and enjoy the subtle allure of this low-key destination.
