An Exciting 2025 Ahead For Wyoming’s EKW State Park

2024 is winding down, and the future looks bright as we reflect on the excitement and adventures at Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park.

Once the snow began to melt, the work and fun kicked off for a very eventful 2024.

• Nature Hikes
• Family Nights
• Paddling on the Pond
• Disc Golf
• Biking
• Swimming
• Recreation
• Adventure

Those were just a few of the highlights from the past year. If your family was involved in any of them, they already ask about what's happening in 2025. To get everyone excited,  Wyoming State Parks has kicked off its 2025 annual permit sales for what is expected to be a great year.

If you have a 2024 pass, it will still be honored until January 31, 2025, but there's nothing wrong with getting a head start on the new year. The annual State Parks permits are available in person at EKW State Park (or any State Park in Wyoming), Rocky Mountain Discount Sports, or online at WyoParks.Wyo.Gov

If you plan to go to Edness to buy your 2025 pass, be aware of the office's end-of-year hours.
