Shoshone River

It was late in the afternoon when my brother and I finished up our work in a designated timber cut area about halfway between Cody and Yellowstone.

We had been there for most of the day, and as the sun began to sink behind the high peaks, the light turned gold on the slopes above the north fork of the Shoshone River.

This stretch of ground sits just above the north bank of the river, an easterly flowing tributary that feeds into Buffalo Bill Reservoir.

The air was cooling quickly and the shadows from the ridges were beginning to stretch long across the valley.

So what are some of the different water activities people can enjoy in and around Cody?

yeah i mean we have great outdoor recreation just in general and it's kind of an undiscovered area for outdoor recreation such as biking and and water sports as you mentioned but we have kayaking and rafting down the shoshone river and I mean, you can go take you can either rent kayaks if you don't have your own or you can hire a guy that'll take you down and you can raft down the Shoshone River.

It's absolutely breathtaking.

People have seen bears up close and personal, bison and all that wildlife.

...

the Shoshone River.

The Shoshone River is like the Grand Canyon.

It cut its way through this stone.

Yeah.
