Nature lovers usually can't sit still for long, and that's why the Platte River Parkway Trail is so appealing for many people who live in Casper. This trail system runs approximately ten miles in length, east to west through the Casper community, connecting many parks and recreation areas. The trail is popular with walkers, runners and folks out to enjoy a day of outdoor recreational activities on land or on the river. There's also plenty of wildlife to view from either the trail or the lakeside.

When you check out a show at the Casper Children's Theatre, you may be witnessing the stage debut of a future Julia Roberts or Tom Hanks. And while it may be years before that fact is determined, you can definitely enjoy the fun productions and entertainment that this highly talented group of young performers consistently presents. The theater's mission is to teach kids life skills through stage skills, and that mission continues to be pursued as the theater has presented an impressive 289 performances over the past seven years.
