- Scott's Bottom Nature Area
Scott's Bottom Nature Area or simply "Scott's Bottom" is a park located along the Green River in southwestern Wyoming and is maintained by the city of Green River, Wyoming [ [http://www.cityofgreenriver.org/pages/107 City of Green River park reservation page] ] .It offers several trails for recreation as well as an archery range, shooting range, and a small paintball complex that is new as of 2005. The new outdoor Archery range was built in 2006 and 2007. Scott's Bottom is named for the surrounding few acres, which is simply a wooded area next to the river. There are several other "bottoms" in the area as well. During the warmer months, residents also enjoy fishing in the Green River. Scott's Bottom is also used by local residents with ATVs and other four wheel drive vehicles. Local wildlife in the park include deer, owls, and many other species of animals native to southwestern Wyoming [ [http://gf.state.wy.us/services/education/wtw/index.asp Wyoming Game and Fish Featured Wildlife viewing and learning facilities] ] .
Scott's Bottom also goes by the name FMC Park partially named because of a grant from the FMC corporation, which is one of the area's biggest employers.
In 2005, the aging bridge that crosses the river from the city side (and is the park's primary entrance) was replaced with a more stable and secure bridge.
