Get Lost In A Labyrinth Of Scenic Trails At Curt Gowdy State Park In Wyoming

There’s nothing better than spending a day exploring a new set of trails. Luckily for us, Wyoming is just overflowing with scenic trails just waiting for you. The next time you’re wanting an epic outdoor adventure, consider heading over to Curt Gowdy State Park, one of the most beautiful state parks in Wyoming. Let’s take a closer look.

Conveniently located between Cheyenne and Laramie, Curt Gowdy State Park is ideal for nature lovers looking to take their hiking game to the next level.

With over 3,300 acres to explore, you could easily spend several days here and still not see everything.

In fact, the state park has seven sections of varied landscape, which will keep you occupied for hours as you try to explore it all.

One of the many attractions to the park are the reservoirs chock-full of fish. Boating, fishing, and other water sports are popular pastimes in the summertime at this scenic park.

But for those that would rather set off on foot, the extensive trail system is every hiker's dream.

There are over 35 miles of trails within the park, all varying in intensity, length, and elevation.

It’s a popular spot for mountain biking, but the trails are open to hikers and equestrians, too.

You’ll have stunning views of the park as you take on the trails.

Some of the trails are a little more primitive than others, but we all know the more challenging trails often lead to some of the most incredible hidden gems, like this waterfall.
