Description:

 

Keyhole State Park is located on the western edge of the famed Black Hills, between Sundance and Moorcroft, and is easily accessed off I-90 at exit 165. The Keyhole Dam, an earthfill structure, was completed by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1952. Within site of Devils Tower, Keyhole State Park is a mecca for both resident and migrating birds of all species, and offers excellent fishing for walleye, catfish, smallmouth bass, and northern pike.

History:

The Keyhole area centers on the reservoir, approximately 14,720 acres of water recreation opportunity. The elevation at Keyhole is 4,100 feet. Seasons are comparatively mild, with great weather from spring through fall, and some of the finest ice fishing in the state during the winter months. Keyhole State Park was named for the “Keyhole” livestock brand that was used by two brothers by the name of McKean. They established a ranch in the area.

Keyhole State Park Implements Stage 2 Fire Restrictions

MOORCROFT, Wyo. – June 2, 2026 – As of May 26, 2026, Crook County, Wyoming, entered into a Stage 2 Fire Ban. To ensure the safety of park visitors and neighbors of the park, Keyhole State Park will be implementing Stage 2 burn ban restrictions effective immediately. 


Stage 2 fire restrictions prohibit all campfires on park property, including campfires in state-issued fire rings. Devices using pressurized liquid or gas (stoves, grills, or lanterns) that include shut-off valves are permitted when used in an area at least three feet or more from flammable material such as grasses or pine needles. 


Keyhole State Park staff is working closely with the Pine Haven Volunteer Fire Department to continuously monitor fire conditions to help keep park visitors and neighbors in Keyhole safe during this fire season. Park staff will be working to clear campsites of flammable materials to help reduce fire risk and provide safe conditions for visitors to use pressurized liquid or gas stoves, grills, or lanterns at the park.
