the drive along the lake shows just how large it is, the scenery is beautiful, the lake waters are so clear you can see through them. i would recomend to everyone to take in the views. The whole park is so large you need a week to cover everything, if not more time. more

Even before we stepped onto the Fishing Bridge, the tranquil waters caught our eyes. The moment we went up the bridge, we were mesmerised - deep blue waters mirroring the clear blue skies, fringed by winding lush green shoreline. Can one ask for a better backdrop for great pictures? I'd recommend this place to anyone interested to visiting Yellowstone National... more

And we had the entire drive to... more

Please do not go this year. We want to have this paradise for ourselves. We are going back after visiting the park regularly for 40 years. Once you see this place you will be hooked. The best thing to do is the loop drive and do it slowly. Enjoy every stop. Take a picnic there are drop dead gorgeous picnic... more

Our family did the day paddle on Lake Yellowstone on Sunday, August 17, 2008, and had a great time. Our guide, Jeff, was knowledgable about the sport, the park, and the Jackson and Yellowstone areas and fun to be with. As I had never kayaked before, I was nervous, but it was a great experience that I would highly recommend... more
