Boysen Reservoir

Boysen Dam, an earth-fill dam on the Wind River in the heart of the U.S. state of Wyoming, created the reservoir known as Boysen Reservoir. In Fremont County, it is close to the town of Shoshoni. At the mouth of Wind River Canyon, the dam was built between 1947 and 1952 slightly upstream from a previous dam that Asmus Boysen had built in 1908 on land he had leased from the Shoshone and Arapaho tribes. Despite being geographically situated on the Wind River Indian Reservation, the dam and most of the reservoir are open to visitors.

The lake is surrounded by the Boysen State Park, which provides a variety of leisure activities like swimming, boating, rafting, picnicking, and fishing. At the reservoir's northernmost point, there is a marina with camping facilities, wakeboarding, and tubing.

Around Boysen Reservoir, there are more campgrounds that provide both tent and RV sites. The majority of them have supplementary features like a boat ramp, a playground, and a swimming beach.
