Fort Ransom State Park

10/01/2026

Fall is still a beautiful time to visit the park! The trees are changing and there’s still plenty of time to enjoy camping and hiking before winter arrives.

As temperatures drop, a few amenities are changing for the season:

• The Comfort Station is now closed for the season.
• Beginning October 5, water will be turned off in the modern campground and at C25-C27. The rest of the Horse Camp will remain on until overnight temperatures begin to freeze.
• Water on the east side of the building and at the pump station will remain available until freezing temperatures arrive.

Bundle up, enjoy the fall colors and get out there while the season lasts!
