Wildlife Viewing

As millions of Americans and world travelers discover the enjoyment and educational value of Watchable Wildlife, Moffat County stands as one of the premier locations in the world for viewing animals in their native habitat. More than half of our 3 million acres is held as public land. Moffat County is blessed with large herds of elk, deer, wild horses and pronghorn antelope; abundant populations of mountain lion, bear, and bald eagles; and many unique varieties of small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

Moffat County includes 10 U.S. Bureau of Land Management Wilderness Study Areas, offering interpretive areas, trails, campsites, and multiple-use research lands.

Moffat County is also the home of Brown's Park National Wildlife Refuge, Dinosaur National Monument, and USFS Routt and White River National Forests.

We hope you can personally experience Moffat County. As you enjoy our scenic country, please respect the natural setting, archaeological sites, and Watchable Wildlife, helping us preserve these treasures for future generations.
