Coffeen Park is an easy, short out-and-back hike on natural surface in the Tongue Ranger District of Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming. The trailhead, known as Coffeen Park Trailhead, sits at about 8,500 feet, and the trip covers roughly 1.2 miles with an elevation gain of about 60 feet, so it is a gentle walk rather than a climb. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is open year-round. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from the Burgess Junction weather station, about 22 miles away, run to a high of 71°F and a low of 42°F. Winter there is cold, with January highs near 30°F and lows around 8°F. The trail starts at the Coffeen Park parking area. Rhinehart Lakes is about half a mile away, and Big Goose Cutoff Trail is about 1.4 miles off. Cross Creek Campground is about 2.3 miles away, and East Fork Campground, about 5.6 miles away, offers another place to stay.
