Copper Lakes


Well I looked all over to find a map to show you how to get to Copper Lakes in Wyoming but it must be one of the best kept secrets around. So I can't show you how to get there but I will give you some directions.

You may ask why you would want to know how to get there, or what makes this place so special. Well it is just that if there are not any maps to get their there must not be that many people up there right? That means you can have the whole lake to your self and if that doesn't intreag you the wonderful hike, scenery and fishing should.

So here are the directions to this oasis. From Cody head north on the Belfry hwy till you get to the Chef Joseph Scenic hwy and turn left follow it down the switchbacks passing Dead Indian campground keep going you are almost there. Now here is the tricky part there is a dirt road that turns left about 300 yards be for the clarksfork river look out (this is a bridge that over looks the clarksfork river) take this road and it will lead you to the trail head for Copper lakes.

The hike in, is all up hill but not that far of a hike. Also once you have reached the first lake (witch has the best fishing) you can walk to the back and follow the inlet to the next lake witch has golden trout. I hope you are up for the adventure. If you have any questions let me know.
