Bull Lake

Bull Lake sits on the Wind River Reservation north of Riverton, accessed via a dirt road that crosses the dam and can become muddy depending on weather conditions. The campground requires a Wind River Reservation fishing license and camping permit, with enforcement noted by multiple visitors.

Water levels fluctuate seasonally, exposing additional camping sites during low water periods in early summer. Shore fishing produces results with both fly rods and baitcasting gear. Firewood is available on-site, but campers should bring supplies since stores are not nearby. For different terrain, Diversion Dam Road Dispersed — Wind River BLM provides dispersed camping options to the east.

Bull Lake offers good fishing opportunities and scenic lakeside camping, though visitors must obtain a Wind River Reservation pass before arrival. Several reviews noted the dirt road access can be challenging in poor weather conditions.

Reservation Pass Required

Be aware, you MUST have a reservation pass to camp here. I was told that you can get into serious trouble if you don’t have one. Enquire at Lander or Dubois about getting a pass

Bull Lake Dispersed site

Heading North out of Riverton Wyoming is Bull Lake. The lake itself is hidden from the highway, but Bull creek has a large bridge that lets you know where to turn. The road is not bad, but can be tricky depending on the time of year and weather. It is a dirt road and prone to mud holes. Following the road up then crossing the dam got us on the side of the lake where we made camp, it was early summer so the water was pretty low and gave us access to sites that would otherwise be underwater. Firewood is easily found, but there is not much for stores so be prepared and take in what you will need. The fishing from shore was good with both Flyrods and baitcast. You will need a Wind River Reservation fishing license and permit to camp and fish here. Make sure to pickup a trash and leave it better than you found it. Enjoy
