Boysen State Park, State park and reservoir in Fremont County, US.
The park spreads across 35,000 acres at the south end of the Owl Creek Mountains, featuring the Boysen Reservoir and Wind River Canyon.
Following the construction of Boysen Dam in 1951, the park opened in 1956, named after Asmus Boysen who built the original dam in 1908.
The park preserves Native American territories where generations of tribes lived along the Wind River, maintaining connections to their ancestral lands.
Visitors can access multiple campgrounds, boat launches, and a marina while enjoying fishing for walleye, sauger, perch, and various trout species.
The Wind River flows northward through the park, contrary to typical river patterns, creating an unusual geographical phenomenon in North America.
