Hutton Lake Wildlife Refuge, Nature reserve near Laramie, Wyoming, US.

Hutton Lake Wildlife Refuge covers 1,968 acres in southern Albany County, Wyoming, at elevations above 7,000 feet. It holds five named natural alpine lakes with associated wetlands, set among dry surrounding grasslands that form marsh complexes in the semi-arid Laramie Basin. The refuge is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and administered by the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado.

Hutton Lake National Wildlife Refuge was set aside in 1932 to protect nesting habitat for migratory birds and other native plants and animals. It began with 153 acres and was gradually enlarged to its present 1,968 acres. The refuge is administered by the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado, and in 2023 the Wyoming Toad Conservation Area was established with the acquisition of 1,078 acres of land.

The refuge is a nesting and resting ground for migratory birds, and 146 bird species have been recorded there. Visits are concentrated between March and October, when wildlife is easiest to observe; from November to February winter limits access. Visitors come for recreation or for study of the fauna and flora of the Laramie Basin.

Access is via Highway 230E from Laramie, followed by driving on smaller roads to reach the entrance. It is recommended to arrive by personal vehicle and prepare for the exposed conditions typical of high-altitude areas.

The Wyoming Toad Conservation Area was established in 2023 with the purchase of 1,078 acres (436 ha) of land, separate from the refuge's original 1,968 acres. The Wyoming toad, a species that nearly vanished from the wild, is among the refuge's documented amphibians, alongside three amphibian species recorded here.
