Bighorn Canyon公布秋冬安排：11月3日至17日可免费采集倒木作薪材
位于怀俄明州比格霍恩县 Lovell 附近的 Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area 于10月27日公布秋冬季安排：园区工作人员已完成过冬准备，推出一系列节目，让家庭、户外爱好者与猎人在秋冬季节充分利用这片景观。
园区主管 Dustin Sene 表示，Bighorn Canyon 是美国西部的代表性景观之一，无论钓鱼、打猎、探索还是单纯欣赏风景，园区都希望游客在这个季节有一段安全而难忘的经历，并平安回家。
水位方面，截至10月27日，湖面水位为3,626.4英尺：小型船只在水位至少3,620英尺时可从 Horseshoe Bend 下水，大型船只需至少3,625英尺；各下水点的礼遇码头将保留至湖面开始结冰。Cal S. Taggart Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center 冬季开放时间为周二至周六上午8时30分至下午4时30分，11月26日因感恩节关闭。游客中心渔池将在本季排干过冬，排干前钓客可最后垂钓一次，标准规则适用，前台可出借渔具。
本季一项特别安排是薪材采集：今年3月的 Kane Fire 烧毁了 Yellowtail Wildlife Habitat Management Area 约1,900英亩土地，工作人员与怀俄明州渔猎局合作清除了道路与热门游览区沿线的危险树木，倒下的杨木经一个夏季晾干后，园区邀请公众在11月3日至17日到指定区域采集已倒木材、带回家作薪材，同时协助清理。参加者须先到 Lovell 游客中心登记，只能采集指定区域内的倒地死木，车辆须留在现有道路上，不得拖运原木，链锯须装火花抑制器并备灭火器，并须遵守现行防火限制与狩猎季穿着醒目橙色衣物的建议，地图在登记时提供。
园区同时提醒，狩猎季已经开始，在 Yellowtail Wildlife Habitat Area 活动的游客应穿橙色等鲜艳衣物以提高可见度。后续节目包括：11月12日晚6时至7时在游客中心举行的「Winter Is Coming」冬季主题活动（适合所有年龄）；11月21日上午9时30分至下午4时30分的「Merry and Bright」节日特卖与同日下午3时至4时的读书会（讨论 John Clayton 所著 Caroline Lockhart 传记，系列持续至2027年2月）；12月3日下午5时在游客中心礼堂举行的暗夜天文摄影工作坊，由 Ranger Zach 讲解如何拍摄 Bighorn Canyon 的夜空，其后有户外实拍环节，晚7时结束，适合各水平参加者，可带相机或手机并注意保暖。园区建议游客出行前查询最新状况并确认节目细节。

Bighorn Canyon Sets Fall and Winter Lineup: Free Firewood Collection November 3-17
Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, near Lovell in Bighorn County, Wyoming, on October 27 announced its fall and winter arrangements, saying park staff have completed winterization work and prepared a full slate of programs so families, outdoor enthusiasts, and sportsmen can make the most of the season.
"Bighorn Canyon is an amazing piece of the American West. Whether you're out fishing, hunting, exploring, or simply taking in the views, we want people to have a safe and memorable experience this season, and make it home safely," said Superintendent Dustin Sene.
As of October 27, the lake level stood at 3,626.4 feet: small boats may launch at Horseshoe Bend when the lake is at least 3,620 feet, and large boats require a minimum of 3,625 feet. Courtesy docks will remain at boat launches until ice begins to form. The Cal S. Taggart Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center keeps winter hours of Tuesday through Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and will close on November 26 for Thanksgiving. The visitor center fishing pond will soon be drained for the season; before that, anglers are invited to fish it one last time under standard pond rules, with loaner equipment available at the front desk.
A special opportunity this season is firewood collection. Following the Kane Fire, which burned roughly 1,900 acres of the Yellowtail Wildlife Habitat Management Area in March 2026, crews partnered with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to remove hazardous trees along roadsides and popular recreation areas. The downed cottonwoods have spent the summer drying, and from November 3 through 17 visitors may collect dead and downed wood from a designated area and take it home as free firewood while helping with cleanup. Participants must check in at the Lovell Visitor Center, collect only dead, downed wood within the designated area, keep vehicles on existing roads, refrain from skidding or dragging logs, use chainsaws fitted with spark arresters with a fire extinguisher on site, follow current fire restrictions, and wear blaze orange during hunting season; maps are available at registration.
With hunting seasons under way, visitors in the Yellowtail Wildlife Habitat Area are strongly encouraged to wear blaze orange or other bright colors. Upcoming programs include "Winter Is Coming" with Ranger Jenna at the visitor center on November 12 from 6 to 7 p.m. for all ages; the "Merry and Bright Sale" on November 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and a book club the same day from 3 to 4 p.m. discussing John Clayton's Cowboy Girl: The Life of Caroline Lockhart, a series running through February 2027; and a Dark Skies Astrophotography Workshop on December 3 at 5 p.m. in the visitor center auditorium with Ranger Zach, followed by an optional outdoor session wrapping up at 7 p.m., open to all skill levels with a camera or smartphone and warm clothing. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead, check current conditions, and confirm program details before arriving.
