About Seminoe Reservoir

Set in Carbon County, Wyoming, Seminoe Reservoir is a 18,852-acre reservoir. Its dam was completed in 1936, and the lake is operated by United States Bureau of Reclamation.

We have not matched Seminoe Reservoir to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

With this much open water, waves build quickly when the wind lines up with the long axis of the lake. Pick a launch on the upwind shore on breezy days and the ride home is easier.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
