This 100-acre park is located on the west bank of the New Fork River in western Wyoming, where tens of thousands of emigrants using the Lander Trail crossed in wagons and often camped, half-way on their long journey west. Today, nearly all major emigrant crossings now lie on developed private land.This park provides you a self guided opportunity for access to a river crossing that remains undeveloped and much like it looked when emigrants passed through here in the 1860s.
