Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails

Wyoming boasts 12 great State Parks, 21 State Historic Sites and over 8,500 miles of trails for the on and off-road enthusiast!


Mountain bikes, boats and fishing poles are really just toys for grown-ups; so come be a kid again! After all, we've got plenty of trails for getting mud on those tires, including those in Guernsey, Buffalo Bill and Curt Gowdy State Parks. If making a splash is more your style, we've got space for water sports and fishing at our many reservoirs. Once you're done playing, soak those bones in the therapeutic mineral water at Hot Springs State Park. And when bedtime rolls around, park the RV or roll out a sleeping bag, because at our overnight sites, all it takes to check in is a zip of the tent!


If your sense of adventure begs to play a role in the wild west, then Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails is the place for you! Known as the crossroads of westward expansion, visitors can stand where pilgrims traveled on immigrant trails at the turn of the 19th century. Visit one of our many historic sites to experience the triumphs and hardships of the settlers of the high plains. Relive life during the era of the India wars at Fort Phil Kearney, Fort Bridger or Fort Fetterman. Or, find out what life was like for those up to no good at the Wyoming Territorial Prison. Wherever the road takes you, there's a movie waiting to unfold!
