Executive SummaryAnyone that deals with government agencies has probably worked on astrategic plan at some point. Unfortunately, upon completion these plansare often quickly placed on a shelf never to again see the light of day.Our goal is to create a plan that is actually utilized and implemented.The planning team started the process by reviewing other park system’sstrategic plans. We were trying to determine which states had strategicplans that were working. All of the plans that appear to be successfulhave four elements in common: 1.) they present a clear and conciselong-term vision for the agency, 2.) there is flexibility in theimplementation of goals and objectives, 3.) there is a mechanismfor timely and consistent monitoring of agency accomplishments,4.) agency leadership and staff are held accountable to the goalsand objectives identified in the strategic plan. The SOAR 2021was developed with each of these four criteria in mind.We developed our agency goals with a focus on resource management.After considerable self-examination we developed our goals around thecare and management of the following five resources.Ice Fishing1.) Cultural and Natural Resources2.) Experience Resources3.) Visitor Resources4.) Financial Resources5.) Human ResourcesThe SOAR is a ten year strategic plan that is updated every two yearsin coordination with the bi-annual budget. This plan represents theculmination of a two year process involving considerable research,evaluation and interaction with staff and public. With the assistanceof the Wyoming State Legislature, federal colleagues and our publicpartners we look forward to the challenges and opportunities inbringing this plan to fruition.Elk3Canoeing

IntroductionThe 2021 SOAR is a tool to incorporate public and staff input intopolicy development, priority setting and budgeting for Wyoming StateParks, Historic Sites & Trails (SPHST). The SOAR is a ten year strategicplan designed to be a living document. Developed in coordinationwith a Bi-Annual Implementation Plan the SOAR can be adjusted forunexpected challenges and opportunities that will present themselvesduring the life of the plan.Information CollectionPiedmont Charcoal Kilns State Historic SiteTrails at Curt Gowdy State ParkThe SOAR planning process began in 2009. Planners first reviewedexisting documents that related to SPHST development and management.These include the 2000-2001 Wyoming Snowmobile Survey, 2002Wyoming State Parks and Historic Sites Long Range Plan, the 2004Wyoming Statewide Trails Plan, Vision 2010 Wyoming State TrailsProgram Plan, the 2004 SPHST Visitor Use Survey, the 2005 SPHSTNon-Visitor Survey, the 2005 SPHST Economic Impact Report, 2006ORV survey and 2009 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor RecreationPlan. As some of these documents where updated the new informationwas incorporated into the SOAR. The 2000-2001 Snowmobile Survey,the 2006 ORV survey and the 2004 and 2009 SPHST Visitor Use Reportsutilized extensive surveys to glean information about the demographicsof trail users and park/historic site visitors, activities they take part in, andthe types of facilities and management practices they would liketo see at SPHST.Wyoming Tourism Industry Master Plan, 2010 – 2020Beginning in 2007, with Project Front Door, the Wyoming Office ofTourism (WOT) embarked on a process to develop the Wyoming TourismMaster Plan. In 2010, WOT partnered with the Wyoming Department ofGame and Fish and the Wyoming Department of State Parks and CulturalResources to develop the Wyoming Tourism Industry Master Plan, 2010– 2020. The purpose of a Master Plan is to present a comprehensiveview of Wyoming’s collective tourism products and projects, both manmade and natural, including all state, federal, local, private and non-profitinitiatives. It will provide a regional and statewide perspective of existingand proposed tourism projects. Most importantly it will direct input fromthe industry and related organizations throughout the state to set a visionand strategy for Wyoming’s tourism growth through 2020.WOT and SPHST share many goals and challenges to further the tourismindustry within Wyoming. Several recommendations within the TourismMaster Plan pertain specifically to SPHST. As such, the Division isincorporating those recommendations as Action Strategies for SPHST.6Wyoming Pioneer Museum
Development of the SOARIn the spring of 2009 the draft SOAR was developed and made availablefor internal review. The draft SOAR was modified based on staffcomments. In June of 2009 the draft SOAR was made available online at the SPHST website for public review and comment. Followingthis SPHST staff set up a series of eight meetings throughout the stateto receive additional public comment. These meetings were held in thefollowing communities on the following dates:CasperEvanstonRock SpringsLanderGilletteLaramieTorringtonCheyenneJune 8June 18June 25July 13July 30August 20August 27December 3Following the public review period the SOAR was reworked andsubmitted to SPHST staff for another review and comment period. Thedraft SOAR was then reviewed by the State Parks & Cultural ResourcesCommission. Finally, the SOAR underwent a second 30 day publicreview period.Implementation and Tracking Progress Of The SOARThe SOAR is a dynamic document that will be augmented by a BiAnnual Implementation Plan to account for changes in the economy,staffing and budgetary constraints, and shifting recreation and culturalheritage tourism trends. The goals and objectives in the SOAR shouldnot change significantly during the ten year period, specific actions toachieve the goals and objectives will be revised bi-annually. For thisreason, action strategies are not included in the SOAR, but are containedin the Bi-Annual Implementation Plan. Every other year at the fallstaff meeting SPHST staff will review, identify and update key actionstrategies that correspond to goals and objectives outlined in the SOAR.Following this meeting the SPHST Senior Management Team will usethis information to update and finalize the action strategies in the BiAnnual Implementation Plan. The Plan will be finalized prior to thedevelopment of the bi-annual budget and used to guide budgeting andmanagement decisions for the ensuing two year period.Each staffed park/historic site currently prepares a monthly report.The format of this monthly report will be modified to relate to thegoals and objectives outlined in the SOAR and the action strategiesin the Bi-Annual Implementation Plan. At the end of each calendaryear, these monthly reports will be combined into an annual SOARReport of Accomplishments.7Equestrian Trails available at Curt Gowdy State Park
SPHST Overview and StatisticsPhilosophyA) First and foremost we are a significant part of Wyoming’s infrastructure and an important contributor to the economy, outdoorrecreation and cultural heritage.B) We strive for excellence in customer safety and service, resourceprotection, interpretation, education, and facility developmentand maintenance.C) As an agency that supports quality of life, we strive to connectthe public with the natural and cultural environment by providingsustainable and high quality facilities and events.FunctionBoysen State ParkWe have been entrusted with the stewardship of some of Wyoming’s mostimportant natural and cultural resources. Our challenge is to provide forthe preservation of these resources for future generations while providingfor the safety and needs of today’s visitors. We also strive to instill in thepublic an understanding and appreciation of Wyoming’s unique culturalheritage and the importance of nature-based outdoor recreation.Our job is to help our citizens have a better understanding of the historyof Wyoming by interpreting the State’s history at 29 historic andarcheological sites. Some of our historic and archeological sites havesignificant infrastructure and visitor services while others have few orno amenities. Our goal is to increase public support to protect, restore,interpret and promote these sites.Buffalo Bill State ParkOur job is to provide high quality recreation facilities and opportunities.At this time, the majority of our recreational sites cater to boating,fishing, camping and picnicking. Our goal is to maintain these excellentrecreation opportunities while diversifying our recreation base.Our job is to administer the State Trails Program. We operate largesnowmobile and ORV trails programs that are funded by user fees. Themajority of snowmobile and ORV trails are on federal lands and we havecooperative agreements with both the Forest Service and the Bureau ofLand Management.Our job is to administer the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)and Recreation Trails Program (RTP) grant programs. The LWCFprovides funding to local communities on a competitive grant basis forthe development of recreational facilities at the local level. The RTPprovides funding statewide to develop and manage motorized and nonmotorized trails.8Wagon Box State Historic Site

HistoryThe history of Wyoming State Parks, Historic Sites & Trails is anaccount of three separate entities that were eventually merged into oneagency. The story begins with the creation of the Wyoming HistoricalLandmark Commission (HLC) in 1927. Governor Emerson appointedthree members to the commission to acquire historically significantproperties and provide for their restoration and preservation. Two yearslater, in 1929, the commission acquired Fort Bridger as Wyoming’s firststate historic site. In 1959 the HLC was abolished and responsibilityfor Wyoming’s historic landmarks was transferred to the WyomingState Archives and Historical Department. Four years later, in 1963,the functions of the state landmarks commission were transferred to theState Parks Commission, but the Archives and Historical Departmentretained the authority to designate and name new historical sites and toauthenticate legends and markers.In 1979, the legislature changed the name of the Archives and HistoricalDepartment to Wyoming State Archives, Museums and HistoricalDepartment (AMH). In 1990, the state legislature abolished the AMHand combined its programs and functions into the Wyoming Departmentof Commerce (DOC).In 1999, the Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources replacedthe Department of Commerce. The new department consists primarilyof the Division of State Parks and Historic Sites, and the Division ofCultural Resources. The Wyoming Pioneer Memorial Museum wastransferred from the Department of Agriculture to the Division of StateParks and Historic Sites at this time.Biking at Curt Gowdy State ParkFort Fetterman State Historic SiteThe history of state parks began with the creation of the State ParksCommission in 1937. The commission was composed of the governor,the commissioner of public lands, and the state engineer. It empoweredthe commission to acquire title to lands suitable for state parks, publiccamp grounds, or public recreational uses. The commission wasalso authorized to set aside for recreational use, state-owned land notappropriated for other purposes. Additional powers included leasingand operating recreation areas; receiving money or property in trust,for park and recreational purposes; contracting with the United Statesgovernment regarding the management of state and federal recreationareas and improvement of state parks; and issuing permits to privateassociations and individuals to improve state parks. The law alsoallowed the commission to employ, as funds were available, directorsand supervisors of state parks.15Fort Phil KearnyState Historic Site
In 1953, the composition of the State Parks Commission was changed toconsist of the state game and fish commissioner and the state engineeras ex-officio members, and three Wyoming citizens appointed by thegovernor. In addition, the law authorized the parks commission “tolease or rent concessions of all lawful kinds and nature” in the state’srecreation areas.The parks commission’s membership was increased to five appointedmembers in 1963. In the same year control of all historical landmarksand sites was transferred from the Wyoming State Archives and HistoricalDepartment to the State Parks Commission.In 1967, the Wyoming Recreation Commission was establishedsucceeding the State Parks Commission and the State Land and WaterConservation Commission. The governor appointed nine commissionmembers, of which at least one member was required to be from eachof the state’s judicial districts. The governor was to serve on thecommission as an ex-officio member.The Wyoming Recreation Commission was empowered to acquirelands for use as outdoor recreation areas. Historical landmarks andsites were acquired with the approval of the director of the WyomingState Archives and Historical Department. Additional powers includednaming sites and landmarks; entering into agreements with the federalgovernment for the improvement and maintenance of state outdoorrecreation areas; receiving in trust “any money or property of any kindor character donated, granted or bequeathed for outdoor recreation areasand facilities;” granting permits to private associations and individualsdesiring to improve state recreation facilities; and making and enforcingrules and regulations as need.In 1969, the Wyoming Recreation Commission was authorized to employa director, who would serve as secretary of the commission. The law alsopermitted the commission to hire other personnel as necessary. In 1987the Wyoming Recreation Commission was given authority to supervise,maintain, and control historic parks, to manage the state trails program,and to establish and maintain monuments and markers.In 1990, the legislature combined the Wyoming Recreation Commissionand Wyoming State Archives, Museums and Historical Departmentwithin the Wyoming Department of Commerce.16Common Ground Cover, Sagebrush
The Wyoming State Trails program began when local snowmobile clubsstarted maintaining and grooming snowmobile trails in the 1960s. In1984, legislation passed creating the snowmobile registration fee and thesnowmobile trails program. In 1987, the state trails program was mergedwith the Wyoming Recreation Commission. Legislation creating theORV registration fee and ORV trails program was passed in 2001.Economic ImpactIn the last twelve years SPHST has conducted economic impact studiesfor the snowmobile program, the ORV program and for state parks andhistoric sites. SPHST has a considerable impact on Wyoming’s economyand is particularly significant for ORV and snowmobile retailers, andcommunities near SPHST facilities.In 2000–2001, the Department of Agriculture and Applied Economics,at the University of Wyoming, conducted a survey of snowmobilersin Wyoming. Based on the results of this survey, it was projectedsnowmobiling had an annual economic impact of 234 million. Much ofthis impact is based on the purchase of new or used snowmobiles.Biking at Glendo State ParkIn 2006, SPHST contracted to have an economic analysis conducted forresident and non-resident purchasers of 2004 Wyoming ORV permits.The survey reported that approximately 35.5% of Wyoming residentsused an ORV within the previous 12 months. Residents reportedspending about 1,261 on each ORV they owned in the previous 12months, much of this on the purchase of new or used ORV’s. Based onthe projected number of ORV’s in the state, residents spent over 189million on ORV and related expenses in the previous 12 months.In 2010, SPHST contracted to have an economic analysis conducted forthe 2009 visitor season. In 2009, SPHST accounted for a 78.1 millioneconomic impact in Wyoming. The analysis did not include equipmentor vehicle purchases. For every 1 budgeted to operate SPHST 8.97was returned to the economy of Wyoming. SPHST is responsible forthe creation of 1,123 jobs throughout the state. In 2009, almost a thirdof the funding budgeted to operate SPHST was returned in the form ofstate and local taxes.S’more Making17Keyhole State Park
Visitor Demographics and StatisticsWyoming’s state parks and historic sites continue to be populardestinations. In 2008, almost half of the trips to the state by out of statevisitors were motivated by visits to National and State Parks with culturaltrips coming in second (Strategic Marketing and Research, Inc., 2009).SPHST visitation has increased by nearly 66.0% in the past 20 yearsand continues to see steady growth. In the most recent reporting periodvisitation to Wyoming’s state parks and historic sites are at an all-timehigh of over 2.9 million visitor days (Wyoming Department of State Parksand Cultural Resources, 2010).Point of RocksHistoric Governors’ MansionFigure 3. State Parks and Historic Sites Annual Summer VisitationVisitor opinion and demographic surveys are conducted on a five-yearschedule during the summer visitation season at state parks and historicsites (Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources, 2009).The trends in the most recent survey indicate 50% and 75%, of state parkand historic site visitors respectively, are from out-of-state. The majorityof state park visitors are repeat visitors while the majority of historic sitevisitors are first time visitors. Visitors to state parks consider the parkthe destination and visitors to historic sites typically view the visit as astopover on an extended trip. The average age of historic site visitors (48)is 12 years older than the average age of state park visitors.In 2004, SPHST contracted a survey to determine why some residentsdo not visit or visit infrequently (Wyoming Survey and AnalysisCenter, 2004). Those surveyed who had recently visited were askedan abbreviated set of questions; those who had not visited were asked amore detailed set of questions. One of the challenges with the survey was18Ice Fishing
over three fourths of the respondents had visited a state park or historicsite within the last year. The survey found a strong correlation betweenthose who had purchased fishing licenses and those who visited the parks.The non-visitors indicated vacations are not taken, parks are too far fromtheir homes, and that camping, fishing and boating are not viewed asrecreational options. SPHST determined efforts to increase visitation arebest focused on encouraging the first time visitor to return rather thantargeting the non-visitor.Most visitors to state parks
