Fontenelle blends wide-open horizons with easy access to blue-ribbon water, making it a rare spot for anyone who values elbow room and the outdoors. The Green River pools into the expansive Fontenelle Reservoir, a hub for boating and trophy trout; water levels and access points are guided by the Bureau of Reclamation. Anglers keep an eye on seasons and setups through the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, while wildlife watchers head downstream to the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge for migrating waterfowl, pronghorn, and raptors.
Day-to-day needs are met in nearby communities like La Barge and Kemmerer, where you’ll find groceries, hardware, and local eateries. Weekends often mean exploring the foothills and trailheads of the Bridger-Teton National Forest or launching a boat for an early-morning bite. The quiet roads, including the US‑189 corridor, keep travel straightforward across this corner of Lincoln County.
Families typically connect with schools in neighboring towns, with small class sizes and hands-on programs that match the area’s practical, outdoor-minded lifestyle. Housing options run the gamut from modest cabins and river-adjacent getaways to larger acreage suited for hobby livestock, workshops, or a serious gear shed—ideal for those who want land, sky, and water close at hand.
