Article History

Laramie River, river in Colorado and Wyoming, U.S., rising in the Front Range in Roosevelt National Forest, northern Colorado. It flows north across the Wyoming border and then turns northwest past the city of Laramie, through the Laramie Plains and Wheatland reservoirs, to enter the North Platte River at Fort Laramie after a course of 216 mi (348 km). The Laramie supplies irrigation projects in northern Wyoming.
