Managed by the Bureau of Land Management within the campgrounds around BLM Land — Kremmling Field Office, Cowdrey Lake State Wildlife Area sits just off Highway 125 near Cowdrey, Colorado. Sites are exposed with minimal shade, one tree noted on the reservoir's edge. A vault toilet, fire rings, a small pier, and a boat ramp are on-site. Wildlife around the reservoir includes pronghorn, beavers, storks, prairie dogs, and trout. Verizon cell service is reportedly reliable. Pack insect repellent, as horse flies can be aggressive in summer.
