Three Forks is an unincorporated community in Carbon County, Wyoming, United States.
Three forks, locally known as Three Forks Muddy Gap, was named from its location at a fork in the road. First settled in 1935 when Highway 287 was built. Local Rancher, Robert L. Tully built a small filling station. Then in his sixties, Tully decided to retire from ranching, selling off much of his original homestead to pay for the construction of the station.
