The Jelm Access Area - Upper is a scenic public access point on the Laramie River located 30 miles west of Laramie off Highway 10 near Woods Landing, offering the most picturesque stretch of the river with riffles, runs, and pocket water.

The area features a boat launch and comfort station, with pedestrian access immediately along the riverbank upstream from the south parking area, and is open year-round though access roads are not plowed in winter.

A 5-day camping limit applies, and note that the downstream northern parking area prohibits camping.
