Buffalo Bill State Park is a public recreation area surrounding the reservoir formed by the Buffalo Bill Dam, an impoundment of the Shoshone River, in Park County, Wyoming. The state park, reservoir and dam were named after William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who founded the nearby town of Cody and who owned much of the land now occupied by the reservoir and park. The park offers camping, hiking, boating, fishing, and picnicking and is managed by Wyoming Division of State Parks and Historic Sites.

    Speaking as someone who has chosen to work here for my third summer, commuting 90 miles each workday, to do so: " I love this place!" The staff is awesome, very helpful, and goes beyond duty to help boaters, fishermen , swimmers, campers and general visitors have an excellent adventure. I enjoy the geology, cloudscapes and wildlife of the area. Second only to the interesting folks who actually turn off the highway to spend some time here.
