Buffalo Bill Reservoir Springs
Buffalo Bill Reservoir Springs is a named group of springs in the state park of the same name, about eight miles from Cody in Park County, Wyoming. The record carries no temperature, only a note that the water is warm, so do not plan a soak around it. It is state park land and listed as open.
Seven tenths of a mile from the closest road, which is unnamed on file, so count on a walk. Elevation just under 5,400 feet, in a dry stretch of the state: a foot and a half of precipitation in a year and about five feet of snow. The campground on record, Bobcat-Houlihan, is a long way off, nineteen miles.
No best-season figure exists for this one. Snowfall on record is about five feet, so winter access depends on the park's roads. State park rules and any entry fee apply; none is recorded here. Since the temperature is unknown, test the water before assuming anything about it. Camping is not close.
The Bobcat-Houlihan Campground is at the trailhead of the Bobcat-Houlihan Trail. It features interpretive kiosks, horse trailer parking, horse hitching rails, food storage boxes and toilet facilities.
Buffalo Bill Reservoir Springs sits at 5,390 feet above sea level, way above the mile-high mark. You may not feel the altitude strongly, but hot water still dehydrates you faster at elevation. UV is about 22% stronger than at sea level, so bring sunscreen and drink more water than you normally would.
