About Our Site - Sinks Canyon State Park
Sinks Canyon State Park is located in west central Wyoming just south of Lander. The park is situated in the Wind River Mountains on the middle fork of the Popo Agie River. The site is named after distinct geologic phenomena in which the Popo Agie river disappears into a limestone cavern and reappears a quarter mile down canyon in a placid pool filled with 8 - 12 lb. rainbow trout. The site has a variety of natural habitats which creates diversity of flora and fauna. The canyon provides a variety of recreational opportunities including nature studies, photography, camping, fishing, hiking, world class rock climbing and access to miles of mountain bike trails.

Rise Observation Deck to Undergo Maintenance Construction
LANDER, Wyo. – June 4, 2025 – Wyoming State Parks announces maintenance construction will begin on the Rise observation deck at Sinks Canyon State Park starting June 9, 2025. The project is expected to be completed by July 4, 2025.
During this time, visitors may experience intermittent full and partial closures that will limit or prevent access to the Rise deck. The work will focus on replacing supports and railings to enhance safety for all park visitors.
"We recognize the importance of the Rise observation deck to our guests, and we appreciate their patience as we carry out these essential maintenance upgrades," states Jessica Moore, superintendent of Sinks Canyon State Park.
Follow Sinks Canyon State Park on Facebook for updates on the construction progress and any changes to the closure schedule at @SinksCanyonStatePark.
