Stopped in to the visitors center and got 15 minutes of great in olive, information and maps from the incredibly helpful Kendra one of the park ranger. She was so helpful I couldn't thank her enough. I was driving through in my RV and was able to dump my tanks and get some fresh water all they ask us a small donation. Clean bathrooms and very cool center with several stuffed animals and info.. Even got a 50 cent cup of coffee " donation"... Thanks again for a great way to be welcomed to your great state of Wyoming

Justin Grover

Nice picnic areas and restrooms, Bison and Elk!

William Bartelt

Excellent rest room facilities. The visitor center is a small natural history museum, with dozens of taxidermied native Wyoming animals. There is everything from big game to raptors, rodents, and riparian species.

Cache Staheli

Bathrooms were dirty, but the view here was amazing. Nice place to stop and take a break.

Peggy Strahler

The best ever rest area! Amazing mounts and knowledgeable and friendly staff. Sure worth stopping in to see!

alan griffin

Don't miss the Bison and Elk in the pastures. Don't be surprised if you see a moose on a hike along the river. Great bird watching in this well trailed riparian area. Look for many other wild animals in this hidden gem. The visitors center also has excellent displays.

stephen fletcher

Always stop here when in Evanston Very well kept, and the critters are amazing. Take plenty of pictures.

Thomas Zuehlsdorff

Nice bathrooms, good stop. Just please don't walk up to the fence when the Bison are there. That fence won't stop one. Enjoy them from afar.

Holly Perry

So handy for RV dumping and the buffalo are a real treat

Todd Turnbaugh

It's an ok place to stop since it's right off the freeway and want to see some bison up close, but other than that there is little to see or do.

Jennie Duran

So, so beautiful.

Amber Martines

Great place all year round for outdoor activities, especially with your dog.

Jenna Moline

Stopped overnight in Evanston - this little park was a great place to walk my dog & stretch our legs! We saw a lot of different birds, a moose, and the captive bison.

Deanna Stubbs

Very nice walking paths, clean bathrooms, a nice playground for the kids, several picnic tables. There was also an area where we saw buffalo! Pretty cool to see!

Great little park, great little walking trail huge elk and buffalo

Allena Munoz

Wonderful place to go walking, hiking, running and biking. I love the new trails in the back area. Only part is I wish people would clean up after the dogs. I know it isn't the people who clean the state parks job to do it. So for all those people who are being gross about it just clean up after your dogs they even give you bags.

Jason Webb

Nice little paved pathway to stop at for a while if driving through

Jailyn Emmett

Wi-Fi and clean bathrooms.

This park is a wonderful rest stop for anyone traveling on I-80. We always stop whether we need to or not. The rest rooms are clean. There is a play area for the children, paths to walk and interesting info about the area.

Kevin Kelleher

Great first time visiting this spot. Very chilly winds, but it's a great place to stop going past Evanston!

Timothy Ortega

I love this park/rest stop. Good place to have a sandwich or stretch the legs before the next long stretch of Wyoming road. Sometimes you can see the buffalo in the field next to the visitors center. I appreciate the outside dog runs. Pick up burgers in Evanston and enjoy a picnic here!

Easy on and off, next to a Pilot gas, and a gorgeous fun place to camp...or to just stop at the adjecent Rest Area. Clean and well lit, no overnite camping but there's a dump station, free. Two little penned areas for pets, and a big field for dogs if yours is off leash. AND....if you are the trucker, who bought a meal and a coffee for the older guy with a sign asking for a ride, then THANK YOU! You are the kind of person who reminds me just how good we all should be! I will do it for the next guy, and hope it passes along!

Oren Shelef

Free, well maintained, very helpful guidance at the info center. Thanks!

Tara Haberman

Love to take my kids there

Great stop off route 80. Opens at 8 am. Great spot to stretch your legs and eat your lunch/breakfast Once you arrive go past the bathrooms and park in the next lot. There you will find a trail that crosses the creek and opens up to several more gravel easy walking trails.

Pretty boring but a good rest stop.

Vicki Sundberg

Good place to go running or take your favorite 4 legged friends for a walk.

This is a great place for walking and forgetting about the city all around you. Convenient location and Bison, Deer and Moose are available for viewing on occasion. If you are not familiar with wildlife, keep your distance! Moose can be very dangerous!

Nice place to stretch and see buffalo.

EWAG 777

Nice trails. Nice bison.

Chris Katzl

What's not to like? Buffalo, walking paths, playgrounds, free dump and fill station, visitors center, free internet, a river, clean bathrooms, nice picnic areas, and always clean and neat. My only complaint is that drinking and cleaning water was hard to find. I just hope Evanston comes to it's sensed and doesn't ruin it by putting a detention center next to it.

Stephanie Reeves

Beautiful little park, nice walking trail, lots of parking and picnic tables and grills. Currently snow all over the ground but they keep the road and parking stalls cleared. It’s nice to go out and see the bison and elk. Haven’t had a chance to walk the full trail, waiting for it to warm up a little more but overall it’s been a fun place to visit.

Timothy Gorman

Nice visitor center. Friendly helpful staff.

Dave Miller

Love seeing the animals and great people work there
