North Fork Shoshone River | Wyoming

The North Fork Shoshone River begins its journey on the slopes of Stinkingwater Peak high in the Absaroka Mountains managed by the Shoshone National Forest and drains down the North Fork into Buffalo Bill Reservoir.

The North Fork Highway, the road to Yellowstone's East Gate, follows the North Fork from Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center all the way to Pahaska.

The BLM manages parcels of public accessible lands along the North Fork, which offers opportunities for fishing, boating, sightseeing, and hiking.
