Guernsey State Park has one of Wyoming’s most attractive reservoirs. Approaching the park from the east, high bluffs surrounding the park offer the first hint of the mountains to come. The bluffs block the wind from the park area and leave the waters warm and inviting for swimmers and water skiers. The park also offers boating, camping, fishing, hiking, bird-watching and picnicking. Civilian Conservation Corps’ projects in the park include hiking trails, roads, bridges, buildings – including the Castle, Brimmer Point and the Museum – and even a nine-hole golf course that was abandoned in the early 1940s. The park is located near the town of Guernsey, off U.S. 26.
