Bear River State Park and Visitor Center, along I-80 on the east end of Evanston, is a day-use only park that features bicycle and foot paths as well as several picnic shelters. In the winter, the nearly three miles of foot trails double as cross-country ski trails. A footbridge crosses the river and brings visitors to a natural area. The Bear River, so called by early trappers because of the number of bears in the area, flows through the nearly 300-acre park, providing wetlands, fishing and viewing of wildlife such as deer, jack rabbit, beaver, muskrat, bald eagle, geese, ducks, red fox, badger and resident populations of bison and elk. The full-service visitor center is open year-round.
Wyoming's 96,000 square miles have so many rivers, streams, creeks, ponds, marshes and lakes that all of the bodies of water aren't named. And if we can't even get them named over the course of the 200 years white men have been naming things in this area, you certainly aren't going to be able to fish them in three days. What three days is perfect for however is to sample three of Wyoming's very different types of fishing. read more
