Castle Rock fishing access is located in the beautiful South Fork Shoshone River valley. The site serves as an access point to the South Fork.

The site is undeveloped, meaning there is not parking areas or portal signs. The boundaries are marked with "entering/leaving public lands" on the BLM/Private boundaries along the road and the river. Private lands surround this parcel of public lands, so be mindful of property boundaries.

Getting there

From Cody, Wyoming, head west along Sheridan Avenue until you reach South Fork Road (County Road 6WX). From there, drive approximately 9 miles until you reach Lower South Fork Road (County Road 6QS). Head southwest for approximately 3 miles until you reach Castle Rock Road (County Road 6NS). From there, continue to head southwest for approximately 4 miles, which will lead into the BLM parcel. Look for the Entering/Leaving Public Land signs.
