Yellowstone Lake covers approximately 139 square miles. Its shore line
is 100 miles long. One of the largest mountain lakes in the world, it is
a mile and a half above sea level. The blue of its waters against the
surrounding snow-capped mountains makes it one of nature’s grandest
pictures.

Countless visitors spend as much time as possible at the Lake. After the
first visit this can be readily understood. It is ideal for camping and
fishing, and the stimulating air at this altitude is invigorating and
delightfully refreshing.
You may take a pleasant boat trip and explore its distant shores or, if
you wish, you may engage a motor- or rowboat, at a nominal rate, for a
pleasure cruise or to try your luck at angling. Boat trips to Stevenson
Island feature fishing, and fish-fries on the Island.
