River Summary: The Wind River is a 185-mile long river in Wyoming, USA that flows through the Wind River Range of the Rocky Mountains. It is a tributary of the Bighorn River and was historically an important water source for Native American tribes. Today, the river is used for irrigation of agricultural land, as well as for recreation such as fishing, kayaking, and camping. The river also serves as a source of hydroelectric power, with several reservoirs and dams located along its course, including the Boysen, Pilot Butte, and Fontenelle dams. These structures were built to control the river's flow and provide water for irrigation and drinking water for nearby communities. Despite its importance to the region, the Wind River has faced challenges such as pollution and habitat degradation, highlighting the need for ongoing conservation efforts.
