Cowley delivers wide-open views and tree-lined streets with a close-knit pace of life. Set in Big Horn County, it sits minutes from Lovell and Byron, with easy access to Cody for bigger amenities and jobs. Locals talk about sunrise walks along irrigation paths, backyard gardens that actually thrive, and weekends that still feel unhurried. Outdoor lovers have a field day: the cliffs and marinas of Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area are an easy drive, and trails and campgrounds in Bighorn National Forest open the door to hiking, snowmobiling, and high-country fishing.
Families appreciate strong public-school options, with Cowley Elementary serving younger students and upper grades in nearby Lovell. Anglers find blue-ribbon opportunities on the Bighorn River and surrounding reservoirs, supported by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. In town, heritage runs deep. The community’s Pioneer Day traditions, museum exhibits, and volunteer-led events lend the calendar a friendly rhythm, while wide streets and mountain backdrops make everyday errands feel easy.
Housing here ranges from tidy in-town homes to small-acreage properties, and commutes to regional employers are refreshingly short.
