Woods Landing-Jelm offers the feeling of a mountain outpost with the convenience of being about a half hour from Laramie. Set along the Laramie River where pines give way to wide-open meadows, it’s a favorite for those who want elbow room, dark skies, and quick access to four-season recreation without losing touch with community life in Albany County.
Weekends here often revolve around the outdoors. Trails and lakes in the nearby Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests invite hiking, paddling, and backcountry exploration, and fresh powder days at Snowy Range are minutes away. The historic Woods Landing Dance Hall still draws a crowd, while local cabins and cafes supply warm conversation after a day outside. Anglers and wildlife watchers prize the area for trout-rich waters and resident moose, elk, and pronghorn.
Families are served by Albany County School District 1, with broader learning, arts, and Division I athletics close by at the University of Wyoming. For big-box errands, medical specialists, or an airport run, Cheyenne is an easy drive. Housing ranges from classic log cabins and A-frame retreats to custom homes on acreage, often with garages for gear and room for gardens, chickens, and hobby workshops.
