Guernsey State Park

The park encompasses a reservoir, forests, and rolling hills, offering extensive recreational areas amidst the Wyoming landscape connecting natural and constructed environments.

Established in 1934, the Civilian Conservation Corps developed the park during the Great Depression, constructing facilities that exemplify National Park Service rustic architecture.

The park museum displays regional artifacts and documents the conservation movement's impact on American public lands during the 1930s economic recovery programs.

Visitors access multiple campsites, boat launches, and hiking trails throughout the 6,000-acre park, with seasonal fishing permits available at the entrance.

The park's structures, built using local materials according to National Park Service specifications, earned recognition as a National Historic Landmark.
