About

Sandy Beach Picnic Area sits on the southeast shores of Fremont Lake, Wyoming's second largest natural lake, at an elevation of 7,400 feet in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The site is nestled at the foot of the rugged Wind River Range, known for its craggy granite peaks and sparkling glacial lakes. Thin stands of aspens provide shade throughout the area. This is a day-use only group site that can accommodate up to 75 guests. Facilities include picnic tables, grills, fire rings with benches, and vault toilets. A private sandy swimming beach offers direct lake access. A boat ramp and dock are available just outside the site. No potable water is available on-site. Fremont Lake offers excellent fishing for rainbow, brown, and lake trout, as well as kokanee salmon. Visitors also enjoy boating, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming.
