Summer Finally Arrives! After an unseasonably cool June, Summer finally seems to have arrived in Casper. As temperatures rise, fish are biting all along the North Platte, one of North America`s premier trout streams. You can hire one of the area`s professional outfitters to guide you on a float trip down the river through all the best areas, or just put your line in anywhere along the River Walk, which lies adjacent to the Parkway Plaza. The Wyoming Cavalry is winding down their Indoor Footbal League season with the finale on July 4th at Casper Events Center. Now it`s time to enjoy the Major Leagues` future stars as the Casper Rockies return to Mike Lansing Field located along the North Platte river, just blocks from the Parkway Plaza. While the city sports a new "White Water" park in downtown, the river is perfect for a leisurely "float". You even have access to the river right here at the Parkway Plaza where a new boat landing was recently added. Raft and canoe rentals are readily available in Casper. Now that it is warm enough to venture out, come to Casper and take in our "Painted Past" as actors take to the streets telling stories of area history from the founding of Casper through the Roaring 20`s. Stop by the Wonder Bar to finish your historic evening in an historic setting.
