Recreation Opportunities at the Weston Hills Recreation Area in Wyoming

As you enter the Weston Hills Recreation Area 25 miles north off of Highway 59 on the west, this is the view you see.

About a mile up the road, there is a fishing pond across from the Restroom Building.    There are other smaller ponds to fish in nearby.

Wildflowers and many plants provide photo opportunities for photographers.

This is the restroom.  Be sure to bring toilet paper because sometimes people take the rolls!  The restroom is clean and doesn't smell.
