Converse County sits right in the middle of Wyoming. Much of the county is covered by wide-open prairie, with rugged buttes and scattered mountains breaking up the landscape. The North Platte River winds through the area, bringing a strip of green to the otherwise dry countryside.

Douglas, the county seat, is well known for its famous jackalope statue, a quirky local landmark that has become part of the county’s identity. Oil and gas are important to the modern economy, while ranching remains a major way of life. Cattle still graze across the wide-open range.

Winters can be bitterly cold, especially when the Wyoming wind starts blowing. Summers, however, are beautiful and inviting. Locals take full advantage of the outdoors, with hiking, fishing, hunting, and other adventures never far from home.
