Wyoming Downs Race Track — Local services in Bear River

Such a fun place to go to. Always have a lot of fun watching the horses and they have great food and drinks. I really just wish getting the tickets was much easier. We tried calling to get General admission tickets in advance since we're not from Wyoming and it became quite a chore. First we called for two weeks and no answer. They we tried emailing and the email isn't active. Finally we got a ahold of someone who said they'd call us back and they didn't.

Cornhole show Downs, horse shoe tournaments, and much more. It's like a family reunion without knowing the family.....And right now @ the OTB, off Harrison Drive, the slots are loose and being generous to all. This year,2025, the programs are free.
