In accordance with similar restrictions instituted by the Laramie County Commission, open fires are restricted at Curt Gowdy State Park until further notice.

Despite the open fire restriction, an enjoyable camping experience is still possible at Curt Gowdy State Park.

Propane grills and stoves and charcoal grills can still be used to prepare popular camping dishes and provide adequate warmth. These grills must have covers/lids and be within an arm’s length when lit. A variety of other imaginative ideas can help preserve the camping experience such as solar lights in the firepit.

Additionally, use of acetylene cutting torches, electric arc welders or metal grinding in a cleared radius of 15 feet from burnable materials are permitted.

The use of lanterns using gas, jellied petroleum, pressurized liquid fuel or fully enclosed (sheep-herder type) stoves in a cleared radius of 15 feet of burnable materials is permitted.

However, as always park patrons are reminded that possession of all fireworks is prohibited in all Wyoming State Parks.
