CHEYENNE (WNE) — In conjunction with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s annual Free Fishing Day, Wyoming State Parks will waive day use fees at select locations statewide Saturday, June 7.

Day use fees will be waived at all parks, historic sites, and recreational areas managed by Wyoming State Parks that offer fishing opportunities. The fee waiver is designed to encourage public participation in Free Fishing Day, which allows anglers to fish in Wyoming waters without a fishing license for one day only.

“Free Fishing Day is a great opportunity to connect people with Wyoming’s incredible natural resources,” said Nick Neylon, deputy director of Wyoming State Parks. “By waiving day use fees at our fishing-access sites, we’re making it easier for families, visitors, and residents to enjoy the outdoors and create lasting memories on our public lands.”

• Boysen State Park
• Buffalo Bill State Park
• Curt Gowdy State Park
• Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park
• Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site
