Excellent Ways To Keep Cool In Casper This Summer

When summer hits Wyoming, the fun options and the sunny summer days heat up. If you're on a budget, keeping cool isn't necessarily going to break the bank. You have many options for keeping cool that don't cost you an arm and a leg.

Swimming in the summer is a great way to keep the kids busy, out of the house, and cool. There are swimming pools sprinkled all over the state that are a definite possibility for keeping cool.

As kids, my siblings and I would swim in a round water trough. We swam for hours under a big tree on my grandpa's farm daily. Our trough was similar to this one, but we didn't have a filtering system, and cows were walking behind us.

Swimming in a water trough may not be an option for your kids, but getting wet and staying cool is an option.

Splash pads are a fine example of low-cost water entertainment. We're lucky here around Casper to have a couple of free splash pads.

David Street Station and Glenrock's Town Square are examples of family fun that you can have for free.

Splashing around and spending beach time at Edness Kimball Wilkins State Park only costs that price of a daily fee for the park.

If slipping into a kayak, canoe, or tube and floating the North Platte River is up your alley for keeping cool, that's a great way to relax and be in the water. Grab your life vest and floating vessel, and you're set to go for minimal costs.
