    Stocked trout.
    John C.

    I was looking for a good fishing spot near I-80. This did the trick. I researched the specifics and it turned out well. I fished by the dam on Granite Lake off the shore. There were many stocked trout, even mid-day. I used a Carolina rig with yellow Powerbait. Plenty of bites, but these trout know how to steal your bait. Not big fish, but fun for a short stop.

    We visited CGSP on a weekend, and were unhappy with the crowd level that day. Tip: It often gets VERY crowded here, especially on weekends This is a nice-looking park, so next time we'll try coming in the middle of the week instead of on a weekend.

    This review is for crow creek to hidden falls trail which is in curt gowdy state park. there is not a parking lot at the trail head. will need to park before the resevoir at shoreline trail or across the road at the reservoir there is no bathroom. if you need to use the bathroom stop at the visitor center there is a day pass fee.. $7 for residents. $12 for non residents. if you pay at visitor center you can use cash or card. if you go to somewhere supposedly near some trail you would need cash only. there are no poop bags for dogs at the trailhead. so if you are bringing your pups bring some bags!!! there are also no trash cans that i saw so plan on packing out what you pack in. including dog poop bags there is a sign that says there is a bear in the area. so know that before you go. there is a lot of shade, and a creek lining most of the trail. to get to the falls you will need to go over some boulders and then walk a little bit in the water. either bring water shoes or plan on taking off your boots. the water was mostly ankle deep but did get up to thigh high near the falls. im 5 foot 8. it was a lovely trail though!

    We loved this park! We were off season tent camping and had our pick of campsites. We picked one, right by the water, nestled in the trees. In the morning, we were able to take our showers in the visitor center and walk the beautiful trails. The view is gorgeous! If we are ever back in this part of the country, we definitely would stay here again!

    It's a nice park. You can easily drive around it. I wouldn't recommend coming here when it's been raining or snowing. Great place in the sun. Heaps of camping areas and a couple of hiking trails.

    Biking, kayaking, and canoeing at the reservoir

    This is a very beautiful state park with RV and tent camping. You can camp (RV or tent) right next to the water! There are plenty of bathrooms and a visitor's center here as well. You do need to pay a small fee to camp or visit and reservations to camp are required during the peak times. I spent the afternoon here by the water and had a picnic. There were people biking, fishing, hiking, canoeing and hanging out. We brought binoculars to scope out the variety of cool birds. Next time I want to bring some bikes so I can get on the trails!

    Great park. there was a beautiful lake with inlets with little sandy beaches. lots of hiking trails. and equestrian area if you are into that. and the sky put on such a light show! thunderstorms to the east with beautiful rainbows at sunset and zillions of stars. they had sites that were first come first serve and that was great as I did not have a reservation.I stayed here on my way out and It was so nice that I stayed here again on my way back. would love to be there for the persiod meteor showers in August. My campsite was on a hill so I got good cell phone reception. they do have one camping area with WiFi according to the campground map legend.

    Had a great time camping here during CFD. We have a travel trailer and I think this place might be more suited for those of us who are RVing. Camp sites are pretty close together and we had a neighbor complain about our minimal generator noise at 10:00... Really? It's a vacation have some fun and stay up past your bedtime.

    Had to do dry camping in our motorhome due to Frontier days in Cheyenne, but this is a beautiful place to camp! Sites are very spacious, lots of privacy. Love that they have a small general store, super friendly people. Only minor complaint is the showers. They were paid showers and the hand held shower leaked and when switched to overhead it came with such force it couldn't stand under it. However, they were clean and private.

    Nice lake .

    I love to visit State Capitol buildings, and have been to nearly 2/3rds of all 50 state capitols…read more This one allowed you to take a self guided tour with a map of each floor to help you understand where you can go and what to see. The ground has several sculptures around the outside, with one large cowboy riding a bucking bronco representing the spirit of Wyoming. The building had quite a bit of wood accents throughout and I really liked the restoration outcome with the wonderful stained glass ceilings in the senate and house chambers as well as the rotunda. There have been several restorations and there was a plaque for each displayed throughout the building. They also had a fun Hall of History where you enter through an old safe's door to get into a set of rooms with TV's and videos that can be played that tell the story of the capitol and the area around Cheyenne. It was definitely worth the visit, and I would recommend the stop to family and friends.

    No tickets needed for this free tour! I was amazed at the access we were granted at this beautiful…read morehistoric facility! A friendly staff member will greet you upon entering and let you know all the points of interest for the tour. I loved the building and being able to tour around with my family members. The rich history can be seen in the decor and will make you feel proud of Wyoming. Wow, if walls could talk! We should get involved in government even if it is just taking a tour to see what our tax dollars are funding.
