Town of Afton Visit us at www.aftonwyoming.gov Today! Official website for the Town of Afton, Wyoming. Serving the residents of Afton since 1904.

The population was 1,911 at the 2010 census. Afton is home to the world's largest arch made of elk antlers. Spanning 75 feet (23 m) across the four lanes of US Highway 89, the arch consists of 3,011 elk antlers and weighs 15 tons. Also located just east of Town, Swift Creek Canyon is just a few minutes drive from Town. During the summer when the spring is most active, visitors will be able to witness Afton’s main water source intermit in 15 minute cycles. The half hour hike up to the mouth of the canyon is well worth the visit for residents and tourists alike.To date no one has been able to prove conclusively why the spring intermits. A leading theory by a hydrologist from the University of Utah theorizes that the spring discharges spring runoff from the mountain when enough water has been collected, creating a siphon effect of sorts. The spring is located at the end of a scenic gravel road in the Swift Creek Canyon, approximately five miles east of Afton.

🎃 Town of Afton Halloween Safety Reminder 👻
The Town of Afton would like to remind all families planning to trick-or-treat in the Rockbridge Subdivision tomorrow evening to please park at Afton Elementary School and walk into the subdivision with your kids. Where possible, please use parking lots in other residential neighborhoods and walk with your kids. This helps keep neighborhood streets less congested and ensures a safer experience for everyone enjoying the festivities
Additionally, for anyone driving children around for trick-or-treating throughout Afton:
🚫 Parking on sidewalks is prohibited— this creates hazards for pedestrians and limits accessibility.
🚗 Be extra mindful of increased foot traffic and drive slowly through residential areas.
Let’s work together to keep our streets safe and our community safe!
🎃 Have a safe and enjoyable Halloween evening! 👻
