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.

That's why a growing number of the state's travel and recreation businesses are working hard to conserve natural resources and lessen their long-term impact on the environment. It's all about making sure future generations can enjoy Wyoming's wonders, too. read more
