The most fanciful feature of the Castle is this spiral staircase which leads to a roof top viewing platform. After seeing these pictures, a friend suggested that the Castle would be an ideal spot for a small wedding. What do you think?

Wednesday in Wyoming -- June 11, 2014
One of the attractions of Guernsey State Park, in addition to its opportunities for outdoor sports, is its collection of buildings constructed by the CCC, the Civilian Conservation Corps. As part of the New Deal plan to rebuild the economy during the Great Depression, the CCC built hundreds of structures across the country including this one, commonly referred to as The Castle.
The Castle was constructed of native limestone and timbers and features several arches. This one was situated to frame Laramie Peak.
As you can see, the interior has other arches and provides both picnic tables, a fireplace and built-in benches for visitors.
