Brimmer Point

Brimmer Point is a high overlook above the reservoir with a panoramic view of the park. It was named for George E. Brimmer, an attorney, philanthropist, and staunch supporter of Wyoming’s State Parks. Construction of the structure was at times perilous, with workmen bringing massive sandstone blocks to the edge of the cliff. The artist E.S. Mosher drew several versions of the guard walls to provide both safety and aesthetic appeal, and he also created many of the architectural renderings in the early 1930’s that now illustrate interpretive signs throughout the park. During the 1935 Water Carnival at Lake Guernsey, an automobile was driven off Brimmer Point, and the event was repeated for years during park celebrations and remained well remembered by old timers who had attended as children.
