Springs in Wyoming

7 natural springs in Wyoming, United States

Wyoming's vast landscape is defined by a dramatic contrast between high-altitude plains and rugged mountain ranges, including the iconic Rockies and the Wind River Range. As one of the driest states in the U.S., the terrain is largely semi-arid, featuring sagebrush basins and rolling grasslands that give way to dense coniferous forests at higher elevations. The state's high average elevation, exceeding 6,000 feet, contributes to a continental climate characterized by cold, snowy winters and warm, pleasant summers.

Water resources in this region are heavily dependent on the winter snowpack and seasonal precipitation. The wettest period typically occurs in late spring and early summer, particularly in May and June, when rainfall combines with melting snow to replenish aquifers. Consequently, natural springs often exhibit their strongest flow during these months. While lower-elevation springs may be accessible earlier, those located in mountainous areas are best visited in the summer after the deep snow has cleared.

Exploring Wyoming's natural springs offers a unique way to experience the state's wild beauty, from the granite peaks to the expansive valleys. Whether you are hiking through the high country or traversing the open plains, locating these water sources can be a rewarding part of your journey. Always have spring water independently tested before drinking. Water quality can change with seasons and conditions.
