The Laramie River is a tributary of the North Platte River, approximately 216 mi (348 km) long, in the U.S. states of Colorado and Wyoming.It rises in northern Colorado, in the Roosevelt National Forest in the Front Range, in western Larimer County. It flows NNW into Wyoming, along the east side of the Medicine Bow Mountains, past Jelm and Woods Landing, then NE emerging from the mountains 22 miles southwest of Laramie. The river then flows north through the town of Laramie. In the Laramie Plains it joins the Little Laramie River. The Laramie River then continues north through the Laramie Plains and through Wheatland Reservoir. It flows NE through the Laramie Mountains. Emerging from the mountains, it receives the North Laramie River 5 mi north of Wheatland and Chugwater Creek 7 mi (11 km) NE of Wheatland. It joins the North Platte opposite the town Fort Laramie.

  • The Laramie River is a tributary of the North Platte River, approximately 216 mi (348 km) long, in the U.S. states of Colorado and Wyoming.It rises in northern Colorado, in the Roosevelt National Forest in the Front Range, in western Larimer County. It flows NNW into Wyoming, along the east side of the Medicine Bow Mountains, past Jelm and Woods Landing, then NE emerging from the mountains 22 miles southwest of Laramie. The river then flows north through the town of Laramie. In the Laramie Plains it joins the Little Laramie River. The Laramie River then continues north through the Laramie Plains and through Wheatland Reservoir. It flows NE through the Laramie Mountains. Emerging from the mountains, it receives the North Laramie River 5 mi north of Wheatland and Chugwater Creek 7 mi (11 km) NE of Wheatland. It joins the North Platte opposite the town Fort Laramie. In its upper reaches in Colorado, the river supplies water to the Cache La Poudre River via the Laramie-Poudre Tunnel. The tunnel, which is approximately 2 mi/3.2 km long, was finished in 1911 as part of a larger irrigation project for northern Colorado.. The river was named for Jacques La Ramee, a French-Canadian fur trader who lived in the area in the 1820s. His arrow-ridden body was found near the mouth of the river on the North Platte by his companions, who named the river in his honor. The Laramie Mountains, as well as the City of Laramie, Wyoming, were later given the same name. (en)
  • Laramie (ang. Laramie River) — rzeka w Stanach Zjednoczonych, płynie przez stany Kolorado i Wyoming, prawy dopływ Platte Północnej. Jej długość wynosi 348 km. Źródła Laramie znajdują się w północnym Kolorado, na zachodzie hrabstwa Larimer. Płynie na północny północny zachód do Wyoming, wzdłuż wschodniej strony Gór Medicine Bow, mijając miejscowości Jelm i Woods Landing; następnie na północny wschód, wypływając z gór w pobliżu Laramie. Na północ od Laramie płynie w kierunku północnym przez Równinę Laramie i przez Zbiornik Wheatland, a potem na północny wschód przez Góry Laramie. 8 km na północ od Wheatland zbiera wody North Laramie River, a 11 km na północny wschód od Wheatland spotyka Chugwater Creek. Łączy się z Platte Północną niedaleko miejscowości Fort Laramie. Nazwa rzeki pochodzi od nazwiska Jacques'a La Ramée, francuskiego trapera, który działał na tym obszarze w latach dwudziestych XIX wieku. (pl)
  • Der Laramie River ist ein 348 Kilometer langer Nebenfluss des North Platte River in den USA-Staaten Colorado und Wyoming. Der Fluss hat seinen Ursprung im Roosevelt Nationalpark im nördlichen Colorado. Er fließt in Richtung Nord-Nord-West nach Wyoming, entlang der östlichen Seite der Medicine Bow Mountains. Dann in Richtung Nordost, über die Ebene nördlich von Laramie, durch das Wheatland Reservoir und durch die Laramie Mountains. Nach den Bergen trifft er auf den North Laramie River und fließt schließlich in den North Platte River. Der Name des Flusses stammt von Jacques La Ramee, einem französischen Pelzhändler, der in den 20er-Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts in dieser Gegend lebte. Sein Körper wurde in der Nähe der Einmündung zum North Platte gefunden, von Pfeilen durchbohrt. Später wurden auch die Laramie Mountains und die Stadt Laramie nach ihm benannt. (de)
