01 — County highlights
A feel for the place.

Find your kind of space.

Outdoors · Year-round
Sinks Canyon State Park
Lander (Popo Agie River Canyon)
Sinks Canyon (Lander) is famous for the Popo Agie River disappearing into a limestone cavern ("the Sinks") and reappearing downstream ("the Rise"). The park has waterfalls, granite cliffs and trails along the river gorge, plus a canyon loop drive.
Local tip. Watch the river vanish at the Sinks and reappear at the Rise, then hike part of the canyon trail; flows peak in early summer.
Official site ↗Outdoors · Year-round
Boysen State Park
Boysen Reservoir, north of Shoshoni
This park on Boysen Reservoir has campgrounds, a marina and fishing (walleye, bass). It offers mountain and lakeshore scenery below Boysen Dam. Boating, water skiing and bald eagle watching in winter are highlights.
Local tip. The reservoir is big and windy; launch early, check the forecast, and watch for bald eagles along the river below the dam in winter.
