THERMOPOLIS, Wyo. — July 25, 2025 — Wyoming State Parks is moving forward with another key infrastructure upgrade at Hot Springs State Park—an asphalt improvement project to enhance road conditions, improve drainage, and freshen roadway striping throughout the park. Construction will begin the week of July 28 and continue through September 3.

 

The project will address damaged sections of roadway and curbing, update gutters, and repaint road markings. While the park will remain open throughout the construction period, visitors should expect occasional minor detours and temporary closures of select parking spaces as crews move through the area.

 

“These routine improvements are essential to keeping the park safe and welcoming for all guests,” said Park Superintendent Chris Delay. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility as we complete this important work.”

 

Hot Springs State Park continues to offer a wide range of memorable experiences for visitors, and access to amenities will not be affected during the road improvement project. Guests can enjoy more than six miles of accessible trails, the stunning mineral terrace boardwalk, scenic picnic areas, and the free State Bath House for therapeutic soaking in natural mineral waters. The park also provides convenient access to the Bighorn River for those looking to fish, paddle, or float. Wildlife enthusiasts can view the park’s iconic central bison herd, a highlight for many who visit.
