Located approximately 15 miles west of Basin, Wyoming, the Wardell/Harrington access site provides a convenient launch point for exploring Harrington Reservoir in the Big Horn County area. This BLM-managed facility offers a boat ramp, parking areas, and turn-around space suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. Restroom facilities are available on-site, making it a practical choice for day trips.
The reservoir is popular with anglers and wildlife viewers in addition to paddlers. The access area is non-reservable and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. For specific information about current conditions, facility hours, or any launch fees, contact the managing agency at 307-347-5100. The site's proximity to scenic BLM wilderness areas like Red Butte and Sheep Mountain WSAs offers opportunities for exploration in a rugged, mountainous landscape typical of northwestern Wyoming.
