Yellowstone Lake

Nestled in the heart of Yellowstone National Park, the beautiful Yellowstone Lake is surrounded by mountain ranges and splendid scenery. This magnificent lake freezes and forms a thick layer of ice on the surface during the beginning of winter in December and January. The lake thaws out once summer is close and the temperature rises in May and June. Considered as one of the highest mountain lakes in North America, this massive lake drains into the Yellowstone River in the North. This turquoise blue lake is also a breeding ground for a variety of trouts, making it a popular spot for trout fishing.
