Featuring a Tourist Information Center, picnic areas and a small herd of bison and elk (kept for public viewing in cooperation with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department,) Bear River is a popular stop for travelers on I-80. The park also contains nearly three miles of hiking/bicycling trails which connect to the Bear Project, a greenbelt activity sponsored by the City of Evanston. The annual Bear River Rendezvous celebrates the region's trapping heritage with mountain men and women recreating a typical 1840s gathering.
