Right Angle Reservoir

Discover

Right Angle Reservoir is a lake in Washakie County, Wyoming. Its name is concise and distinctive, giving travelers an easy point of reference while the place itself invites a more open-ended impression. For anyone exploring this part of Wyoming, it offers a water-centered stop to consider within a county itinerary. The simple idea is the appeal: a lake can draw attention away from the pace of the road and toward the changing relationship between water, light, and distance.

A reservoir’s visual character is best approached without a fixed picture in mind. The surface may become the main subject, or it may serve as a calm visual counterpoint to the surrounding land; either way, the contrast between water and its setting gives a visitor a natural way to frame the scene. Right Angle is an intriguing name, but it works most usefully as a prompt for curiosity rather than as a description of the landscape. Look for the shapes, edges, and proportions that are actually present, and let those details—not the wording of the name—guide your sense of place.

A visit here does not need an elaborate agenda. Take a moment to notice the scale of the water and how a wide view differs from a closer look at color, texture, or reflections. That kind of attention suits a lake destination: the experience can be simple in structure, even when the surrounding day is busy. For photographers and casual observers alike, a reservoir can reward patience with subtle changes in light and perspective, without requiring a particular activity to define the stop. When planning a route through Washakie County, treat Right Angle Reservoir as a place to pause and experience on its own terms.
