Wyoming State Parks waives day use fees Saturday for Free Fishing Day

In conjunction with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s annual Free Fishing Day, Wyoming State Parks will waive day use fees at select locations statewide on Saturday, June 7.

Day use fees will be waived at all parks, historic sites, and recreational areas managed by Wyoming State Parks that offer fishing opportunities. The fee waiver is designed to encourage public participation in Free Fishing Day, which allows anglers to fish in Wyoming waters without a fishing license for one day only.

The following Wyoming State Parks locations will offer free admission on June 7: Boysen State Park, Buffalo Bill State Park, Curt Gowdy State Park, Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park, Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site, Glendo State Park, Guernsey State Park, Hawk Springs State Recreation Area, Keyhole State Park and Seminoe State Park

Additional locations that offer fishing opportunities and have free admission year-round include: Bear River State Park, Connor Battlefield State Historic Site, Fort Fred Steele State Historic Site, Hot Springs State Park, Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site and Sinks Canyon State Park.

Free Fishing Day is observed annually on the first Saturday in June. While fishing licenses are not required on this day, all other fishing regulations established by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department remain in effect. These include creel limits, size restrictions, approved gear types, and designated area closures. Learn more at wgfd.wyo.gov.
