Yellowstone Lake is Yellowstone National Park’s biggest body of water. It is also North America’s official “largest freshwater lake above 7,000 feet.” The lake is usually frozen over before December.
It remains frozen through May. Therefore, the best time to visit is in summer. It is then that you can enjoy picnics on the shore, scenic strolls, and boat rides. Spend the night at the well-known Lake Yellowstone Hotel and take in the view of the brilliant sunset over the lake.
The Norris Geyser Basin geysers admittedly do not erupt like the more famous Old Faithful. Nevertheless, this specific geothermal area is one of Yellowstone’s best spots to see geysers. Here you will see Steamboat Geyser.
It is the world’s highest active geyser. While it does not erupt regularly, when it does the show is tremendous. It shoots at least 300 feet up into the air!
