Flaming Gorge Reservoir covers 42,020 acres in Wyoming and drops to 436 feet at its deepest point. It is a reservoir impounded in 1964 and managed by Bureau of Reclamation. Water level is the thing to understand here: the pool can move roughly 25 feet, typically drawn down in autumn. That changes dock function, boat access, and what the shoreline looks like in listing photos versus in person. Water clarity averages around 25 feet, placing it among the clearer bodies of water in the country. Short-term rental posture: Sweetwater/Daggett County. Confirm at the municipal level before underwriting rental income.
Each axis is computed by published formula from this lake's own attributes. How we score.
Computed from measured clarity, trophic state, and drawdown magnitude — not an opinion. See the formula.
Weighted: water 26% · recreation 22% · investment 20% · value 18% · access 14%.
The dock sits at full-pool elevation. At low pool the waterline retreats and the reach to navigable water changes. Scale is illustrative; the 25 ft figure is from published operations for this lake.
Idealized cross-section. Max depth 436 ft, average 140 ft. Depth at a specific dock depends on local bathymetry — verify at the property.

Prices here are meaningfully lower than the lake an hour north for water that is nearly as clear. Fewer restaurants and services, which is the tradeoff.
Main channel is fantastic. Some of the back coves get shallow and mucky by late summer. Walk the actual shoreline before you commit, not just the listing photos.
Smallmouth and walleye both fish well. Water clarity has held up over the fifteen years we have been here, which I credit to the watershed protections.
