Park News

Most facilities at Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area south of Gering are closed temporarily because of a power outage caused by a windstorm last weekend.

The Wildcat Hills Nature Center and Wildcat Hills Shooting Sports Complex remain closed until power is restored and systems such as water well pumps are brought back online. Water is currently not available.

Park trails and campgrounds remain open.

Crews are working to restore power, but no estimate is available when the park buildings will reopen.
