About the Park
Set along the Bighorn River on East Park Street, River Bend Bark Park gives Thermopolis dogs a riverside place to play next to Hot Springs State Park. Two gated entrances lead into the fully fenced grounds, which separate large and small dogs and include multiple play structures and an agility course. Seating and waste bag stations keep visits comfortable and clean, and the mixed surface holds up through the seasons. Off-leash access runs sunrise to sunset. Its spot beside the state park makes it easy to pair with a soak or a walk. Thermopolis sits in the Bighorn Basin of north-central Wyoming, where summers get warm; the river setting adds shade and breeze. Confirm any fees locally, as pricing is not listed.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
River Bend Bark Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
River Bend Bark Park operates on a unknown basis. Check with the park directly for current pricing details.
