Independence Rock State Historic Site reviews

Good site, able to climb on the rock. It is at a rest stop so no visitor center on site. Something quick and easy to see

My dog and I had a great hike around the rock. The trail is a combination of paved, gravel and natural. This is a beautifully rugged area and we had the trail to ourselves early on a weekday. This place is free to visit as are many Wyoming historical sites. Restrooms are available at the rest area. The paved portion of the trail would be accessible except for the switchback fencing. There is a turn out off the highway just north of the rest stop where one can park and view the northwest portion of the rock & some signatures without walking the trail.

Great little stop along The Oregon Trail! Rest stop is wheelchair friendly, but the pathways to the edge of the rock itself is not! The gate to get past is far to narrow to fit a wheelchair through. It seems that the Wyoming State Parks have recognized the dilapidated state that this rest stop used to be in, because when I was there everything was squared away. There is potable water access for you and your dog here as well as bathrooms. The interpretive signage wasn’t the best I’ve seen but it’s alright. I really enjoyed being able to walk all the way to the top of the rock with my dog. Be sure to watch for rattlesnakes!
