Rediscover the Winds Season 2 Episode 8: Boysen Dam, Reservoir, and State Park

In this episode, we explore the story of Boysen Dam, Reservoir and State Park. We look at how the scenic Wind River Canyon, nestled between the towns of Shoshoni and Thermopolis, is a popular spot for tourists on their way to the National Parks. We explore the story of Asmus Boysen, who built the original dam in the canyon. We investigate the challenges Boysen faced including conflicts with reservation authorities, local people, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and the state of Wyoming. We also explore the story of the construction of the modern dam and how visitors and locals alike have been attracted to Boysen Reservoir and State Park due to its wide variety of recreational activities.
