dam on the Shoshone River in Wyoming, USA
Since 1910, the Buffalo Bill Dam has wowed visitors to Cody with its sweeping views of the Shoshone River and the Buffalo Bill Reservoir. The dam sits in the scenic Buffalo Cody State Park and is a “must-see” attraction. Bonus, the dam’s visitor center has a shuttle service to and from the parking lot.
While visiting the dam, you can find more than just concrete and water. Inside the visitor’s center, you’ll discover dioramas on local wildlife, the dam’s creation, and the vital role it plays in providing water to the surrounding area. Take a seat in their mini-theater to get an immersive take on the history of the dam and grab a bite to eat at Fat Racks BBQ afterward; it’s so worth it!
We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Cody, WY!
