"A scenic cluster of lakes within easy driving distance that visitors are encouraged to include alongside other local lakes for fishing, paddling, and wildlife viewing during the summer season." - Lydia Mansel

UTV Riding by the Bridger National Forest and Green River Lake area was great. In 3 days we road 250 miles on but challanging trails like Seven lake where you reach an altitude of 11,500 or less difficult trails like Grind Up Pass and Moose Gypsum road.
We camped a mile inside the National Forest entering in from Cora WY. Good camping on the bank of the Green River. But limited camps in the pines.

Amazing hiking, backpacking, and mountaineering spot. Bring bear spray and a bear canister. Also, make sure you have all proper hiking gear including gaiters and poles even in the spring/early summers. Some creeks overflow and you might have to navigate around to find the trail. Bring a proper hiking map and ideally a GPS. All in all amazing outdoor experience! Be respectful to the environment and collect all your trash.

Amazing place, the scenery is one of a kind.
Limited outhouse facilities and no garbage disposal makes you wonder why you pay the 12 per night.
The access to lake and trails help but not sure staying just outside campground isn't better option

I go up here every 2 years and it’s crowded towards the campground but the closer you get to Squaretop Mountain the quieter and more beautiful it is.

Beautiful all around. We hiked, kayaked, and camped on the upper lake. Unfortunately there was a fair amount of haze from CA forest fire smoke, but the scenery was still stunning. The lower lake was fairly busy with a lot of hikers / horse riders / boaters, but the upper lake is a short hike and much less occupied.

Incredibly beautiful. Disbursed camped in our van. Road in was extremely rough.

Mosquito infested hell hole. Definitely stay away, lest you pop a tire on the "road" getting here and then get carried away by swarms of biting insects.

Beautiful Wyoming lake with magnificent views. Rough long ride getting there.
