WY State Parks Dept. Temporarily Closes Star Plunge In Thermopolis
Wyoming State Parks regretfully announces the temporary closure of the Star Plunge at Hot Springs State Park due to their failure to provide proof of liability insurance in compliance with their Wyoming State Parks contract.
The closure will take effect immediately and was made with the utmost concern for the safety and well-being of visitors to the park.
“While it’s regrettable that we must temporarily close the Star Plunge, our top priority is ensuring the safety of our visitors,” said Nick Neylon, Deputy Director of Wyoming State Parks. “We are actively exploring solutions to address the insurance issue and are committed to reopening the Star Plunge as soon as we can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.”
Visitors who had made local reservations or were planning to visit the Star Plunge are encouraged to explore the other attractions and natural wonders that Hot Springs State Park has to offer, including hiking trails, picnic areas, and the breathtaking terraces.

That is very unfortunate. We have a large group that was hoping to go swimming in the hot springs and do some shopping in your town. This is going to turn away a lot of revenue/business for the town of Thermopolis What else would we come to that town for LOL? This is a total bummer been there before the star plunge is by far the best pool we tried all three of them even the free one last time we were there I guess I’ll just keep my family in Sheridan and we will do our shopping here.
