Join us for the Grand Re-Opening and Dedication of the Visitor Center Fishing Pond!

Open to all, this day kicks-off a new fishing opportunity provided by Bighorn Canyon in partnership with Bairco Construction and Wyoming Game and fish.

Don't have any fishing equipment? No worried! Through funds granted by the National Park Foundation Junior Ranger Angler Grant, we have a limited supply of fishing gear that you can use during the event.

June 6th is also Wyoming Free Fishing Day, so no license is required to participate.

All NPS fishing equipment is issued on a first come, first served basis and must be returned to park staff by 2:30pm.

Join us for a fun day of fishing and activities!
