Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park

Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park E.K.W. State Park is the Perfect Picnic Spot just 6 miles east of Casper on the old Glenrock highway, 20/26.

We have over 40 picnic sites with several of them close to the water so you can keep an eye on the children while they splash and play.

We loved getting the rain, but it did create some washouts on the beach, including at the accessible beach mat.

We will post when it is usable again.
