Buffalo Bill State Park, State park in Park County, Wyoming, US
The park extends around a reservoir created by the Buffalo Bill Dam, which holds back the Shoshone River in a canyon setting.
The land was originally owned by William Cody, who guided hunting expeditions in the 1870s before the dam construction began in 1905.
The park honors William Cody's contributions to western development through irrigation projects and the establishment of the nearby town of Cody.
Visitors can access camping areas, boat ramps, fishing spots, and hiking trails throughout the 12,000-acre recreational territory.
The Buffalo Bill Dam, standing at 325 feet, held the record for being the world's tallest dam when completed in 1910.
