Buffalo Bill Dam & Visitor Center

Stacee Kersley

Being from this area, I have such fond memories of field trips to the Buffalo Bill Dam. So visiting from Colorado, I had to take our daughter. Very, very windy, but still so beautiful and enjoyable. The indoor visitor center is interesting to learn more about agriculture in the area with a lot of amazing historic photos. Easy drive from Cody and on your way to Yellowstone, I’d definitely recommend a quick stop.

Not only was the dam impressive, there was a wonderful lady who took us from the parking lot to the visitor center by buggy. It was a fun ride and we were so grateful! The video inside the visitor center (on your right) was really worth watching. What a struggle building this dam!!

The Buffalo Bill dam is only a short ten minute drive from Cody and is one HECK of a view. Not only are the views of the reservoir of the damn itself just gorgeous, but the sense of vertigo you get from that narrow steep drop on the back side of the dam is half terrifying, in a good way! What a marvel of engineering done decades and decades and decades ago! The visitors center is chock full of great information and fascinating exhibits. From a chief engineer with nothing more than a high school education to the original vision by Buffalo Bill to harness the power of the river, definitely worth a stop!

Great place to visit and definitely a must see if you're traveling to or from the east side Yellowstone NP. Great views at the top of the dam and visitor center is also pretty nice.
