Guernsey State Park Open Again

Guernsey State Park in southeast Wyoming is open to campers, boaters and visitors again.

The park has been closed since last Saturday, when a wildfire chased out hundreds of campers and visitors. It reopened at 9 a.m. Friday.

The fire is mostly out, and park visitors will be allowed into unburned areas.

Domenic Bravo of the state parks department warns that visitors should stay out of burned areas and be cautious of burned or weakened trees that could fall.

Skyline Drive and the North Entrance to Long Canyon will be open, but Lakeshore Drive on the east side of Guernsey Reservoir will remain closed.

Sandy Beach boat ramp will be open, but the Newell Bay ramp remains closed.
