Powell Visitor Center

Powell is the American town, built on a bold vision, in a wild landscape.
Founded on a promise of land ownership through hard work and sacrifice,
families cultivate and sustain our land for the next generation. The values
that we hold dear bind us, and propel us, to look forward to invest in our
education, our infrastructure, our products and services. Civic responsibility
runs deep. We are a wholesome community, with an idyllic downtown. Sidewalks
and little traffic make it easy to enjoy a pedestrian stroll to city parks,
restaurants, and shops. Northwest College is nestled in town with beautiful
mountain and agricultural views.

Powell is in #ParkCountyWY
which also includes a large part of Yellowstone National Park. Park County is
surrounded by mountains on all sides. we are lucky to have 360 degrees of epic
recreation for all kinds of outdoors enthusiasts. Mountain trails hold
adventure for hikers, bikers, horsemen, and cross-country skiers. Mountain rivers
and lakes provide blue ribbon fishing and a playground for paddling, kayaking,
canoeing, and yes, sailing. Hunters pose with wild game. Downhill skiers enjoy
the powder. The vast amount of public lands and breathtaking scenery in the
region attract a wide variety of artisans: artists, photographers, crafters,
potters, and blacksmiths. Four seasons of endless adventure await!
