Sweetwater Rocks (Split Rock)
Community spots & sessions in WY · on LutherHeggs
The Split Rock WSA encompasses 1,789 acres, including 40 acres of surface split-estate and 40 acres of private land inholding within the boundaries. The Split Rock WSA offers outstanding opportunities for a primitive and unconfined type of recreation, including rock climbing, hiking, sightseeing, backpacking and hunting. Split Rock and McIntosh Peak have long been attractive to rock climbers. Hunting for pronghorn is outstanding on the flats because game is abundant and packing distances are short. Bighorn sheep historically inhabited this area, but the only big game species currently in residence are elk, antelope and mule deer. Golden eagles, prairie falcons and red-tailed hawks soar overhead.
