Summer is a time for getting away from it all, at least for a little while, but that can be tough to do when everyone has the same idea and they all wind up in the same place.
What you need is a secret beach that isn’t on most people’s radar, and the one at Glendo Reservoir fits the bill. It’s a smaller beach with about 2 miles of sandy shoreline and trees along the back. Spending a day of solitude at this little beach is a sure-fire way to make your summer complete.
Glendo Reservoir is about 76 miles southeast of Casper just off I-25.

The reservoir is in Glendo State Park so it doesn’t get as much traffic as it might if it were in one of Wyoming’s more prominent national parks.

The beach may not be huge compared to others in the state, but it’s big enough for some summer fun.

Glendo Reservoir is over 2,000 feet long, so it’s plenty big for other beach activities such as boating and water skiing…

…and it happens to be a terrific place to fish.

If one day isn’t enough, you can also camp on the beach at Glendo. How amazing would it be to fall asleep and wake up to this serene view?

With everything Glendo has to offer, you can save the bigger, better-known beaches for another time.
