Welcome to Star Valley, Wyoming Posted on December 12, 2012 by Livestar Star Valley, Wyoming is one of the countries last areas that is considered part of the “Wild West” Star Valley is and has always been very much a destination unto itself. Hugging the border of Wyoming and Idaho, this 90 mile long valley offers tremendous recreational opportunities. On the northern end, extending into Idaho, the Palisades Reservoir provides 70 miles of shoreline and over 16,000 acres of beautiful water. This long reservoir is fed by three notable waterways: the Salt River, the Greys River, and the Snake River, each offering limitless fishing opportunities. From the town of Alpine on the northern end of the valley, Highway 89 reaches south through Etna, Star Valley Ranch , Freedom, Thayne, Bedford, Grover, Afton and Smoot. On the southern end of the valley, the town of Afton is the largest community with slightly less than 2,000 residences. It is home of the Lincoln County Fair and offers a wide array of shopping and cultural opportunities. Star Valley is surrounded by three national forest. The Bridger-Teton, Targhee, and Caribou National Forest have countless high peaks, deep woods, clear waterways, and lush meadowlands. In the warmer months, these lands provide an endless supply of fishing, camping, hiking, boating, horseback riding, golfing, and hunting. In winter, anglers can ice fish on the Palisades Reservoir, and snowmobiling and cross–country skiing reigns supreme. Star Valley engages property owners with incredible wildlife viewing, rich western heritage, pastoral landscapes, and authentic Wyoming character, all in a quiet setting.
