Reservoir at Buffalo Bill State Park Fred Pflughoft
Six miles west of Cody is Buffalo Bill State Park and the new Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center. Surrounded by fantastic, mountainous scenery, the park offers camping, picnicking, excellent trout fishing and is Wyoming’s premier wind surfing reservoir. The quarter-mile Trout Creek Nature Trail is located near the group camping area in the North Fork Campground. The handicapped-accessible Eagle Point Trail is located in the Eagle Point Day Use Area. The visitor center features interpretive exhibits, audio/visual presentations, touch-screen computers and a staff to help visitors enjoy the recreational opportunities, scenic wonders, and the park’s prehistoric and historic features.
Nothing stokes a hearty appetite like an adventure-filled day in the great outdoors. Whether riding horseback along the Continental Divide or rafting the Snake River, Wyoming visitors often find they get hungrier here than they do at home. read more
