Practice Your Skating Skills On The Coldest Days Of The Year On The Frozen Fremont Lake In Wyoming

Out here in Wyoming, we tend to find our own fun. If you love winter - and let's face it, if you live here, you probably love winter - chances are that you've got a pair of ice skates sitting in a closet, just waiting to be dusted off and put to use! Make a plan to try some "wild ice" skating at Fremont Lake this season, and you'll remember the joys of skating on your town's lakes as a kid. Here, you can work on your skating skills while enjoying the most stunning backdrop you can possibly imagine. If you're a newbie, come alone with us as we show you why this is the best outdoor place to go ice skating in Wyoming.

Pinedale's Fremont Lake may be one of the most beautiful ice-skating venues in the world!

Backcountry ice skating is a blast, and its one of the most fun winter activities in Wyoming.

The area is known for being a winter paradise, with the best snowmobile trails in the country.

And there's a family-friendly ski area that offers quiet days on the mountains.

Of all the places to hang out near Pinedale in the winter...

..., though Fremont Lake tops a whole lot of lists!

Head to the lake for a day of ice skating, whether you're new to skating or grew up perfecting your spins and stops.

Hockey fans particularly love this lake!

There's almost always a pickup hockey game waiting to happen, so bring your gear and get ready to play! (Can you tell how much we love winter in Wyoming?)

If you'd rather stick to wearing boots on the lake, give ice fishing a try.

When the ice is thick enough, the lake is also open to snowmobiling. With a stunning Wyoming mountain backdrop, there's no more beautiful place on earth.

Be sure to check with the ranger station for lake conditions before hitting the ice! While it's typically thick enough for skating pretty early in the season, safety comes first, and you'll want to be sure you aren't heading out into any danger. If you don't want to skate on a lake, there are plenty of official ice skating rinks in Wyoming, as well!
