The Sinks Canyon State Park offers visitors a unique sight - a disappearing river. It is here that the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie River suddenly plunges into a cave and disappears only to reappear a ¼ mile later. The visitor center provides the explanation and some history of the area along with displays of local wildlife. Camping is available at the park.
