SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Free and first-come-first-served, Whiskey Basin WMA - Torrey Creek sits at elevation within the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's Whiskey Basin Wildlife Habitat Management Area outside Dubois. No reservations, no fees. The lakefront area draws weekend crowds, so a second site farther in tends to see less activity. Pets are allowed. Campers wanting a different setup nearby can consider Trail Lake Dispersed Sites to the south.

A High-Elevation Getaway

The initial lakefront spot was bustling with weekend activity, so we headed to the second location for a peaceful night. The headwaters section also offered pleasant boondocking sites. 

Remember, it's first-come, first-served here– no reservations. Plus, the elevated setting adds to the allure. Pack for high elevation.
