Reviews of Sinks Canyon State Park (Park)

Tess Joy

Beautiful place but close the museum to early in the year.

Stephen F. Takach

Outstanding!! Visited on my first trip to Wyoming. Such natural beauty as I had only ever seen in photos or videos. Very much worth the visit.

Jennifer Meyer

Wonderful space that backs to National Forest. The sinks we're beautiful!

Susan Hardin

Awesome water feature, and the waterfalls were amazing and pretty private with a couple calm pool areas to cool off.

Kimberly Putnam

Wonderful place to see

chance kouba

Absolutely beautiful state park. One of my favorites in the state. The trout pools are a must see.

Anna Nyquist

A Must Stop! Reserve a cozy Yurt, hike & sightsee to your heart's delight, and tune into 89.5' for native powwow music - you won't be the same, and why would you want to be?!

tyler ray

One of the best state parks in the country for sure. Something here for all visitors; climbing, hiking, swimming, site seeing, (free) camping birding, bouldering, picnics and cookouts and a great visitor center, got to check this place out.

Lee Johnson

Really cool park. Nice trails. Good facilities. Huge trout. It's a great place to visit, highly recommend.

Rebecca Johnston

this was our second time here. we decided to stop back through again and has become our favorite place. absolutely gorgeous

Nelson Myers

A beautiful place, the river is interesting

Scott Lakeside

Beautiful setting along the Pope Agie River. The Sinks and The Rise are a very interesting phenomenon where the river plunges into a cave and surfaces 1/4-mile away.

David Abbott

Cool canyon and helpful Forest service

thifty bill

Hidden GEM! Right along the river, very scenic! Cheap camping too! Most sites are small and the roads are narrow, so leave your big rigs at home. They should mark the campground roads one way, pretty confusing otherwise.

Isaac Banks

Cool place. Take a few quarters to feed the fish. The middle fork falls we're worth the hike.

Debbie Muglio

Hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, fishing, camping, ORVing, hunting, kayaking...a gorgeous free state park. You can also feed the large trout that stay in a pool

Michael Nickisch

Beautiful area. Camped for a week.

Jennifer Smith

Love the sinks and rise!

Terri Mann

Beautiful

vonia thomas

Best trip ever

Julie Shirk

Love this park. Beautiful!

Tanner Crook

Very clean park areas and super cool features to see. Beautiful area.

Charles Schaub

Natural beauty, great trails, friendly visitor center. The monster trout at the Rise are a must see. Remarkable disappearance of the Popo Agie River into a limestone cave that you can hike right into. Only in Wyoming where the West remains.

Judy Adams

Spent two nights here next to river and it is absolutely beautiful. Park staff are very friendly and helpful and the sounds of the river can not be beat. Great place to hike, bike and watch wildlife!!

Janet Pickerd

Beautiful a must see on daily bases

Scott Sichler

A beautiful spot on the river. We slept well with the white noise from the river. Enjoyed the hiking and wildlife. The sink part is interesting. Good visitors center with information on the area.

Joseph Vasko

Uniquely interesting geological feature that is actually fun to see.

Damien Otto

jennifer garcia

Such a beautiful place and very easy to access.

Stacy McDaniel

A beautiful reset. Peaceful spot ❤

John Magurany

Love it here.

Ernest Kyed

Cool place to visit. Weird how the river goes underground and then rises later. Also love to watch the huge trout!

Miss Sara Jones

Great place for young kids it was safe and fun. I want to go camping here

Jill Menning

Very cool little park. You can park at either the Sink or the Rise, and walk a paved path between the two. A couple rough little paths lead to the overflow channel and down to the cave where the river disappears into the ground. The Rise is really pretty in the morning. Bring quarters if you want to get a handful of fish food to throw to the trout. You can see everything in an hour or so - less, if you hustle - but I was in no hurry to leave, as it's a pretty little canyon and we had a beautiful day.

Thomas Kinney

Great hiking, falls were beautiful! Will come back to camp next time.

Holly Dawn Hewlett

Take your kids here! They have an amazing little museum that is Smithsonian quality!! Go to the walking tour by the Sink....10-15 pound trout!!?

Justin Graham

beautiful wyoming

Alex Walden

Where does it go?

Megan Martin

This is a great place to go with kids after a lot of hours in the car. We spend some time looking at the sinks and then took a short walk down to the rise. our kids were impressed with the fish in the rise area.

Sam Hisel

Very interesting park with great views of the canyon

Shirley Cassell

Best place to see and show to people coming to live for the first time

Shane Willis

Awsome park

Terry Ogle

Incredible high volume river goes underground, then 1/4 mile down mountain comes back above ground. Very cold mountain stream. Great visitors center, and scenic picknic areas. 1.5 mile trail (each way) leads to falls and natural water slide. Must see!

Dorothy & Dave Britton

Beautiful place. Scenic

Melissa Dutcher

Such a cool place, lots to see

George Darlington

Great place for a family trip. Gorgeous views. To see where the po po river goes under ground and reappears down the road is awesome

Jason Hatch

I just love this park. Always have. The State has really improved the amenities here over the years. The visitor's center and the Rise are not to be missed. Camping here is a delight and it's interesting to enjoy the twilight in the canyon that lasts for hours. It's surreal. They have pit latrines, yurts, and tent sites. With the Popo Agie river running, the sounds are just super relaxing. Well worth s visit.

Joshua Gowans

We needed a place to camp for the night and gave this place a shot. Wow, what a nice park! Very easy to access, nice visitors center, great trails, a stunning river, and simply a beautiful place. All around great find!

Daryl D. Koenig

Awesome, Been here before in the summer and it always amazes me.

Lisa Foutz

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Dawn Hixson

Very BEAUTIFUL place to see. We loved feeding the fish.

April

Very interesting place. Was fun feeding the fish, that is a must. Looks like lots of hiking tracks. Beautiful views fron the top.

Tammy Twitchell

Wonderful site. It was snowing the day we went but still interesting. It is a place you need to go to several times a year to see how it changes.

Aaron Johnson

Great place to go visit whether you don't have a lot of time or have tons of time. There is plenty of hiking/biking options out here and going to "the sink" and "the rise" is a must do and is only a very short walk for all ages. If you have a quarter, buy some fish food and you can feed the huge fish swimming below at "the rise". Staff is super helpful and friendly at the visitor center and is worth the stop in. You will probably learn a few new things.

Jason Brown

Very nice attraction to see.

Loco Engineer

Interesting place. Fun to visit. The visitor center is worth a look too. Its not as grand as some parks, but a nice day or half day visit.

Tom McMahon

One of my favorite places to be. Most of my pictures on Google maps are from Sinks Canyon.

Brandy Bourque

I love hiking the falls trail! If you have bad ankles wear hiking boots, not tennis shoes.

Louise Parsons

Sinks Canyon State Park is very beautiful and a must visit spot for anyone passing through Lander. The visitor center is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. It is well worth a visit. The Sinks is amazing as the water disappears through the rocks. It reappears in the Rise where you can feed the resident trout.

joe montana

Must see. Very cool place.

John Iverson

Have enjoyed coming here since I was a kid

Tiffany R

Pretty cool place to visit. You can feed fish and hike.

Teddy Pollard

Amber *

David Williamson

Cool canyon where river goes underground

Amy Federer

Beautiful place for enjoying the great outdoors. I little slice of heaven tucked away in Lander, Wyoming. Great activities for all levels.

Zach Lyons

Definitely worth going to beautiful sights and easy trails for all ages and abilities.

Pti Shn

Sinks Canyon is a favorite place to visit from the first stop to the last ~ Feeding the large trout, Hiking the mountain trails to the falls, Staying over night in the Yurt next to the roar of the river and crossing the swinging bridge STOP SWINGING THE BRIDGE

Del Nelson

Pleasant place for a walk.

Matthew Ward

Oh, this place is beautiful! I had no idea that this place existed. My Mom suggested a road trip, and we through around a couple ideas, then she mentioned Sinks Canyon. She hadn't been there for years, and my niece and I had never been. We got a late start, so we couldn't check everything out. I will definitely go back for another adventure.

Rob Howard

Fascinating place where the river disappears underground for 500m then pops back up again. Great scenery and informative visitor center. Well worth a stop

Angela Samuelsen

So many wonderful memories of growing up with this place. Still beautiful and tranquil as when I was a child.

AJ Heil

Sinks Canyon has amazing recreation opportunities! Rock climbing and hiking, as well as just taking in the marvel that "the sink" is! Enjoy it.

LeAnne Van Nes

The state park was clean and well maintained. They even had clean restrooms. The folks up there are kind and knowledgable.

Doris Post

Beautiful!

Nimo Sani

Fun and great day

shaun sloan

Amazing place. Lots of wildlife viewing. I did the loop from lander up sinks canyon over to hwy 28. Back to lander, about 35 miles. It's gorgeous there. Lots of opportunity to fish, picnic or just hike and relax. Amazing scenery. It doesn't cost to drive in but you should stop by the visitors center and donate so that our state parks are maintained. Please don't litter, pick some up whole there so that others can enjoy a clean park

Mardi Mohler

Intriguing. Pretty, but not spectacular. Worth the visit if you are in the area, but you can see all there is to see in under an hour. They sell fish food so your kids (-or the kid in you-) can feed the huge trout that dwell in the Rise, 40 or 50 feet or so below the observation platform, nothing up close and personal.

Andrew Jeppesen

Incredible experience just coming out of Shoshone National Forest. If you're headed into town for any reason, you need to stop here and take the time to see the river. The hike isn't bad, only about a quarter of a mile or less. And it's a fairly easy hike for anyone involved. There's also a nice ranger station with good information on the area as well.

GEORGE FOSTER

Could use a little bit of work for those that are handicapped. But other wise just one of the wonderful Wyoming attractions.

Deborah Anselmi

Interesting

Matt Herr

Most popular destination in Lander Wyoming. Great for kids and everyone

Very cool stopover. First stop, you get a great view of huge fish and can feed them. Second stop (with visitor's center), you get to see a ton of water just flowing into a deep pool and disappearing. Very pretty. Visitor's center is great for kids.

Gary Pastushok

Interesting geological anomally. Heavy river flow then.... Nothing. Pretty cool.

Timothy Snyder

A hidden gem of Wyoming! Never knew this was here. It's beautiful and cozy. I don't even know how I would rate it if there was running water in the campgrounds, because it's already 5 stars!

And if you want to go to college the sinks canyon center is right in the heart of the sinks

Desert Dawg

Stunningly beautiful canyon to drive through or get out and hike. There are many interpretive signs that you can read. Also you can feed the fish in the river at the overlook. In the warmer months, they have a visitor center with exhibits as well.

Mervin Busby

I really like this park. It's my new favorite state park. I only spent 2 nights in Lander but I visited this park 4 times. I like the trails, the views, the wildlife, and especially the birds.

John Hudson

Across from the Sawmill campgrounds

Aldous Yelxuh

This is my back yard and I covet the access to such a fantastic resource. It's a weekly stop for our family to burn energy and get our heads straight. Love it.

brandon patterson

Very interested, the water runs underground for miles , no one knows where it goes, pops up 1/4 mile down the road. Huge 30" + rainbow trout

Naomi Iserman

Georgeous gorge with rivers and falls

Kristi Hacker

Awesome place to visit! Be careful if camping...most sites don't have room for big tents. We got lucky. Although there are spots that will fit a small rv further up the road.

Clayton Clark

Very cool geological experience. Was amazed at how large the trout were at the rise. Pretty drive up the canyon to the sinks too!

Tonya Daws

Very interesting. Be sure to visit the Sink and the Rise.

Robert Burress

Always a great place to go. I like all the trails and fresh air.

Salim Mohammed

Went here by chance on our way to Jackson Hole, well worth the stop for a couple of hours

RB Hickman

Had an absolutely wonderful visit here. We didn't have enough time to include the visitor's center but the hike was amazing. Beautiful scenery and waterfalls. I really wish I had known about this place earlier, I would surely have spent more time here. Can't wait to go back!

Ahava Goldwater

Fascinating geology: a fast moving little river enters a shallow cave and moves through multitudes of narrow channels, only to emerge two hours later and a quarter of a mile away to continue along its path. One can feed the fish who linger at the spot where the Popo Agie river reemerges to see the light of day.
