Wyoming State Parks to Host Third Public Forum Updating the Public About Proposed Projects at Keyhole State Park

MOORCROFT, Wyo. – May 4, 2026 - The Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources will host a third public forum to update the public and gather feedback on a proposed visitor center at Keyhole State Park.

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

This forum follows up on an April meeting at the Pine Haven Community Center that presented a revised concept for the Visitor Center proposal, building on feedback received in January 2026. The event will again invite conversation to guide next steps in the project development process and give park users and residents an opportunity to learn more about how the new facility will support visitor experiences and natural resource education at Keyhole.

The public meeting will be held:

Date: May. 12, 2026

Time: 5:30 p.m.

Location: Moorcroft Branch Public Library, 105 E. Converse Street, Moorcroft, WY 82721

“We are looking forward to continued conversations surrounding how a visitor center can better serve the local community and Keyhole State Park users,” said Carly-Ann Carruthers, planning manager for the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources. “We appreciate the dialogue fostered throughout this process and welcome continued engagement from our visitors and partners, including the Bureau of Reclamation, as we craft plans for enriching experiences at the park.”

Those unable to attend in person can review the presentation materials and submit feedback via an online public comment form at wyoparks.wyo.gov/keyhole under the Proposed Visitor Center tab.
