The lake stretches over 90 miles and offers visitors 375 miles of shoreline, ranging from flat and welcoming to rough and foreboding. Jutting up to 1,500 feet high in some places, colorful rock layers are a photographer's delight. The area also has ancient Indian petroglyphs and fossils. Fort Bridger State Historic Site, located not far from Rock Springs, was established in 1843 as an emigrant supply stop for travelers in the great western migration. It became a military outpost in 1858 and was vital to the Pony Express and Overland stage routes. This site has many restored buildings, a museum, and self-guided tour. Good place to take the kids.
