While there are areas that are closed, opportunity to access public lands still exists including all state of Wyoming owned lands, which remain open and available to the public.
Hunters and other outdoor recreationists have been disappointed for the second time recently regarding access to areas of Muddy Mountain. A decision by the State Lands and Investment Board not to acquire property on the mountain's backside has triggered a movement to find other ways of securing access. Of specific interest is the 4500 acre Boston/Davis Ranch.
