Silver Gate is in the southeast part of Park County, bordered to the south by the North Absaroka Wilderness within Shoshone National Forest in the state of Wyoming, to the west by Yellowstone National Park, and to the east by Cooke City. The two towns sit in the valley of Soda Butte Creek, which flows southwest into Wyoming to join the Lamar River within Yellowstone Park. The valley is part of the Yellowstone River watershed.
