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.

Construction to Begin on Suspension Bridge in Sinks Canyon State Park

 

LANDER, Wyo. – April 14, 2025 – Wyoming State Parks is announcing that the suspension bridge in the Popo Agie Campground, Sinks Canyon State Park, will be undergoing construction beginning April 21, 2025. The closure is necessary to facilitate essential repairs and enhancements to the bridge, ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all park visitors.

 

The construction is expected to last approximately one month, during which time visitors will not have access to the bridge. Alternative routes and trails will remain open, and park officials encourage visitors to explore other attractions within the canyon during this period.

 

"We understand that the suspension bridge is a popular feature of Sinks Canyon State Park, but these improvements are vital for the long-term safety of our guests," said Jessica Moore, superintendent of Sinks Canyon State Park. "We appreciate the public's understanding and patience as we work to enhance the park."

 

Please note that a construction dumpster will be located in the campground parking lot. Visitors can expect construction activity and noise, including the use of a generator, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
