Pioneer Canal Access

Pioneer Canal Access is a short (~½ mile) cottonwood-lined stretch of the Big Laramie River located 20 miles west of Laramie on Wyoming State Highway 230, featuring long deep runs ideal for dry fly fishing.

The access point requires a short walk from the highway but offers excellent fishing conditions, particularly from early June through July. This scenic section is well-suited for both wading anglers and those seeking a manageable riverside walk.
