Watershed Focus Wind River
The Wind River is one of three watersheds in Wyoming that the WyACT focuses on, together
with the Upper Snake River and the Green River. They represent the headwaters and upper drainage basins of three major river systems
(Snake-Columbia, Green-Colorado, and Wind-Bighorn-Missouri Rivers).
The 185 mile-long Wind River is located entirely within Wyoming. Near Thermopolis
its name changes to Bighorn River, which empties into the Yellowstone and ultimately
contributes to the Missouri. Wyoming’s Wind River Country is home to an Indian reservation
encompassing more than 2.2 million acres, home to the Eastern Shoshone and the Northern
Arapaho tribes.
This page collects an incomplete range of links across the project web presence and
external pages that describe WyACT's involvement in the Wind River Indian Reservation
and surrounding areas in the form of publications, events, videos, blog posts and
press releases.
