Cody, Wyoming is home to a lot of incredible things. There’s the luxurious Irma Hotel, the impressive Buffalo Bill Center of the West, and just on the outskirts of town, the Buffalo Bill Reservoir and Dam. The Dam has an incredible history behind it, and most people don’t know just how much sacrifice was made to begin this seemingly impossible project.
You can find the Buffalo Bill Dam and Visitors Center at 4808 N Fork Hwy, Cody, WY 82414. It’s open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Be sure to carve out some time to enjoy the reservoir, too! It’s perfect for fishing and boating, and is certainly one of the Coolest Waterfront Spots In Wyoming.
