Gooseberry Badlands 2023 GAOA Project

by BLM_Wyoming

The Gooseberry Badlands Scenic Overlook Trail underwent major improvements funded by the Great American Outdoors Act.

Return visitors will first notice the improved parking lot, sheltered picnic areas and permanent binoculars at the scenic overlook. A walk on the trail will reveal more stable trail surfaces that blend with the surrounding environment, rerouted sections of trail that address drainage and erosion concerns, and new benches, bridges and steps.

Another notable result of the project is that the parking lot, upper trail and boardwalk are now accessible to people with disabilities.

The Gooseberry Badlands Scenic Overlook Trail lies along Wyoming Highway 431, approximately 15 miles west of U.S. Highway 20, south of Worland.
