From Laramie 15 miles southwest: take Wyoming Road 230 towards Woods Landing, after about 10 miles turn right - follow the signs `Laramie Prairie Lakes` and then exit to `Lake Hattie` at the end of the bend. Follow that road past the sharp right. When it starts turning again, that's Hattie. You can take the first entry or follow the road around for a bit farther to the second entry.
