Glendo State Park, State park in southeastern Wyoming, United States
Glendo State Park encompasses 22,000 acres of diverse terrain, including a 12,000-acre reservoir, rolling hills, and woodland areas along the North Platte River.
The state park was established in 1959 following the completion of Glendo Dam, which was constructed by the Bureau of Reclamation for irrigation and flood control.
The park functions as a central gathering space where local communities participate in outdoor traditions through fishing tournaments, seasonal celebrations, and recreational activities.
Visitors can access six boat launching areas, reserve spots at 19 different campgrounds with 500 total sites, and explore 45 miles of non-motorized trails.
The reservoir maintains one of Wyoming's premier walleye fisheries, attracting anglers throughout the year despite significant seasonal water level fluctuations.
