Wyoming’s Glendo Reservoir Has Closed Boat Ramps Do To Low Water Levels

I don't think anyone is really surprised that it's hot right now. I mean, tomorrow the calendar will say August. We expect the temperatures to soar, thunderstorms to hit in the afternoon, and the wind to feel like someone kicked on the furnace blower.

We've been talking for weeks about how the lack of snowpack last winter is starting to really cause issues around the state. Things are getting to be rough, with no sign of change in the near future.

There are some reservoirs, rivers, streams, ponds, and creeks that you can step across, or even worse, walk through without getting wet at all.

At the time the article was written:

Pathfinder Reservoir's water level is at 18.8%

Seminoe Reservoir's water level is at 30.9%

Glendo is at 37.4%

If you'd like to keep an eye on the levels for yourself, you can head to the Bureau of Reclamation's website and get current information.

With that being said, since Glendo is at 37.4%, the water is low enough that they have had to close off some of the boat ramps, limiting the options for anglers, boaters, and water fun seekers.

The closures may not be big news to some folks, but if you're heading to Glendo, plan ahead and know that it may take a little longer to launch your boat.

The following ramps at Glendo State Park are closed, and access has been eliminated.

• Bennett Hill
• Indian Point
• Elkhorn

These ramps are still accessible:

• Reno Cove
• Whiskey Gulch
• Main Marina

Keep in mind that all watercraft heading to the water in Wyoming and passing an AIS checkpoint must stop for inspection before launching.
