The Wyoming State Parks Department has issued a public advisory concerning significantly reduced water levels at both Glendo and Guernsey Reservoirs. Officials warn that continuing drought conditions and higher than average water usage this season have led to these alarming drops, which could impact recreational activities and local wildlife. Visitors are encouraged to check updated reservoir levels before planning trips and to practice water conservation while enjoying state park amenities.

Key points for visitors and local users include:

  • Reduced boat ramp accessibility at both reservoirs
  • Potential restrictions on fishing zones due to shrinking water depth
  • Increased caution urged for swimmers and watercraft operators
  • Ongoing updates available via the Wyoming State Parks website and social media channels
