Question 1

What is Sinnard Reservoir and what activities are available?

Accepted Answer

Sinnard Reservoir in Goshen County, Wyoming covers approximately 128 acres, making it a significant reservoir among the high plains water features of eastern Wyoming. The reservoir was constructed in the 1920s, and it serves as an off-channel storage facility in the Horse Creek watershed, operated by the Horse Creek Conservation District. 

The setting of Sinnard Reservoir is characterized by wide-open prairie and sagebrush landscape typical of Goshen County, where irrigation, wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation converge. Its role in water management is primarily re-regulation of irrigation flows: during periods of high irrigation demand the reservoir stores excess canal water and then releases it to satisfy the shortfall downstream.  Because it supports regional water infrastructure, Sinnard Reservoir contributes both to agricultural operations and to the maintenance of wetland and shoreline habitat which in turn attract birds, small mammals, and other high plains wildlife.

From a recreation perspective Sinnard Reservoir offers visitors a chance to enjoy Wyoming lakes and the outdoor recreation they support in a less-crowded setting. The moderate size of 128 acres delivers an environment where fishing, wildlife-watching and shoreline exploration are accessible and meaningful. While detailed published data on fish species and depth for Sinnard Reservoir are limited in public recreational guides, its classification and presence in reservoir listings confirm it as a mapped water body with potential for natural beauty, quiet contemplation, and connection to Wyoming&rsquo;s native landscape. 

For anyone interested in exploring soaking in the natural beauty of Wyoming lakes, fishing in Wyoming or experiencing the intersection of nature and resource use, Sinnard Reservoir stands out. Its combination of structural importance, prairie habitat and open water make it a worthy feature to include when highlighting outdoor recreation, wildlife and natural beauty in Goshen County and across Wyoming&rsquo;s lake resources.
