South Big Horn/Red Wall Scenic Backway
Edness K. Wilkins State Park, WY

Edness K. Wilkins State Park is a serene day-use park where families, nature lovers and those looking for solitude can enjoy the huge old cottonwoods as they cast reflections on the historic North Platte River and lend shade to visitors. A pond, with its sandy beach, is a oasis in the summer months and the North Platte River provides a natural habitat for a variety of wildlife, and for fishing, canoeing and rafting. The park is named after Edness Kimball Wilkins, twenty-five year Wyoming Legislator and area resident who died in 1890 at the age of 84.
