About This Access Site
Located just south of Pinedale, Wyoming, the Halfmoon Lake boat ramp provides convenient access to this scenic alpine lake at 7,400 feet elevation. The ramp features a paved launch surface that extends into the water with riprap, accommodating varying water levels. A short dock is available at the ramp for loading and unloading gear, making access easier for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats.

The site includes a gravel parking lot suitable for both day use and overnight parking, along with vault toilet facilities nearby. The adjacent Halfmoon Lake Campground (about half a mile away) offers reservable campsites if you plan to stay longer. The lake is popular for fishing (lake, rainbow, and brown trout) and provides scenic paddling opportunities with access to backcountry trails in the Bridger Wilderness area. To reach the ramp from Pinedale, head south on US-191 for approximately 1 mile, then turn left onto Fayette/Pole Creek Road (County Road 121).
