About Shoshoni

Shoshoni is a quiet crossroads town in central Wyoming, located right where U.S. 20 and U.S. 26 meet on the drive north toward Yellowstone. Originally founded as a railroad boomtown, the community sits just south of Boysen Reservoir and the entrance to Wind River Canyon. It is a scenic, rugged corner of Fremont County that attracts anglers, boaters, and anyone who appreciates wide-open spaces.
