Protect the Miracle Mile - Pint Night

The Miracle Mile is more than just a stretch of river — it is one of Wyoming’s most iconic fisheries and a destination valued by anglers, hunters, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts across the West. Concerns surrounding the proposed Seminoe Pumped Storage Project have sparked growing public interest as agencies continue reviewing the large-scale energy storage proposal planned near Seminoe Reservoir in Carbon County.

The project, proposed by Black Canyon Hydro and rPlus Hydro, would create a pumped-storage hydropower system capable of generating up to 900 megawatts of electricity using an upper and lower reservoir system near Seminoe Reservoir. 

Many conservation groups, anglers, and local residents have raised questions about possible impacts to the Miracle Mile fishery, wildlife migration corridors, recreation access, water quality, and the broader outdoor economy tied to the North Platte River region. Organizations including Wyoming Trout Unlimited and other conservation advocates are encouraging the public to stay informed and participate in the ongoing review process.

This Pint Night event in Casper offers an opportunity for the community to hear expert perspectives, ask questions, and better understand what is at stake for one of Wyoming’s most valued outdoor landscapes. Whether you fish the Miracle Mile, hunt nearby public lands, or simply care about the future of Wyoming recreation and conservation, this event is designed to help residents engage in an informed discussion about the future of the region.
