MOORCROFT, Wyo. – Jan. 6, 2025 - The Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources will host a public forum to share information and gather feedback on a proposed visitor center in the Coulter Bay Area at Keyhole State Park.

The proposed Coulter Bay Visitor Center aims to enhance recreation and education opportunities at Keyhole State Park by providing improved visitor services, interpretive exhibits, a community gathering space for local small groups, and serving as a launch point for recreation.  

“It is our privilege to steward Keyhole State Park and to make it a safe and fun place for Wyomingites and our neighbors to play,” said Misty Moore, district manager for Wyoming State Parks. “This opportunity supports that work, and the center needs to reflect the expectations and needs of our users.”

During the forum, Wyoming State Parks staff will present preliminary concepts and planning information for the proposed visitor center and invite public feedback to guide potential next steps in the project development. The event will provide park users and residents with an opportunity to learn more about how the new facility could support visitor experiences and natural resource education at Keyhole.

The public meeting will be held:

Date: Jan. 14, 2026

Time: 6 p.m.

Location: Pine Haven Community Center, 3 Industrial Park, Pine Haven, WY 82721

“Public participation and our partnership with the Bureau of Reclamation are important parts of our planning process,” said Carly-Ann Carruthers, planning manager for the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources. “We value the input of our visitors and partners as we look toward future projects that will enrich experiences across Wyoming’s state parks.”
