Nothing compares to the excitement generated by paddling a kayak into the coves and inlets of the pristine southern arms of Yellowstone Lake. This is one of the best inland paddling destinations in the country. Encompassing over 135 square miles, with 20-mile stretches of open water, and 110 miles of shoreline, Yellowstone Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the United States above 7,500 feet.
After taking a shuttle across the main body of the lake, we paddle 2 - 10 miles each day, depending on the groups' desires, tent camp under the stars on sandy beaches, and dine on gourmet meals cooked over the campfire. Native cutthroat trout thrive in the 400+ foot deep Yellowstone Lake, which makes for excellent fishing. Fish right from your kayak or choose one of the feeder creeks including the headwaters of the Yellowstone River. Save time for hiking in fields of wildflowers or up nearby peaks, wildlife watching, or just napping on the lake's shores. Yellowstone Lake has an ecosystem all its own and sea kayaking along its shoreline is the best way to experience it!
