The following is a list of the fourteen reservoirs, in the United States state of Wyoming, that contain at least 40,000 acre-feet (49 million cubic meters) when at full capacity. In addition to in-stream reservoirs, the list includes enhanced natural lakes , notably Jackson Lake .
Following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Wyoming. All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3 ), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3 ).
