About
Hynds Lodge and Amphitheater at Curt Gowdy State Park offers a unique historic venue for groups, events, and weddings. The lodge was originally built by Cheyenne businessman Harry P. Hynds and donated to the Boy Scouts of America in 1922. Today it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and serves as a premier rental facility within the park. The lodge provides overnight accommodations for up to 20 people, with a maximum event capacity of 90. Facilities include a large kitchen, dining room, living room, covered porch, and a distinctive stone fireplace and chimney. Additional tables and chairs are available for events, though linens, plates, and cooking equipment are not included with the rental. The amphitheater, located a short distance from Hynds Lodge, can be rented separately and hosts concerts, theater productions, and various cultural activities. The venue is popular for weddings and large group gatherings, offering a scenic mountain setting in the foothills of the Laramie Mountains. Located along Highway 210 (Happy Jack Road), the site is easily accessible from both Cheyenne and Laramie.
