## About 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.
