Edness K. Wilkins State Park

The 1,260-acre Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area (EEA) is a popular
recreation area south of Casper. The 2-mile Interpretive Nature Trail connects
the Lodgepole and Rim campgrounds. This accessible trail has 28 interpretive
signs and 2 scenic overlooks providing of the valley below. Travel along this
trail is reserved for hikers and visitors using mobility devices.  
  
Opportunities for watching wildlife are favorable as forest, sagebrush, and
grasslands provide habitat for blue grouse and fox, as well as deer, antelope,
and elk.  
  
The 700-acre natural area is restricted to non-motorized recreational
activities such as mountain biking, hiking, and primitive camping. The trail
system inside the natural area accommodates hikers, mountain bikers, and
horseback enthusiasts. A small parking area is located in the north part of
the site, just east of Rim Campground. Additional pedestrian gates are located
along the eastern boundary.  
  
The remainder of the EEA consists of multi-use trails and a general recreation
area. The Corral Loop Road provides motorized access to most of this area. The
multi-use trail can be used by snowmobiles in the winter and ATVs in the
summer. Primitive, dispersed camping with no facilities is allowed in this
area.  
  
The 170-acre developed area meets ABA/ADA accessibility standards and includes
the Rim and Lodgepole campgrounds which have a combined total of 23 campsites
with picnic tables, fire rings, tent pads and trash receptacles. Potable water
is available near the entrance to Lodgepole Campground. Vault toilets are
located in each campground and at the trailhead to the Interpretive Nature
Trail. Prices for camping: $7/night/site, $3/extra vehicle/night. Access Pass
and Senior Pass holders receive half price. No charge for day use.  
  
Access in the winter is limited to snowmachine/snowmobile via designated
snowmobile trails by Wyoming State Trails. No full-size vehicular access is
available in the winter/spring. Contact the Casper Field Office on status of
roads in the area.
